My Laptop is 15.6 hp pavilion 8th gen core i5 12 gb ram 1 tb hdd
My laptop is out of warranty since it has been more than a year I purchased it in November 2017
Since last December whenever I leave the laptop on charge and its left idle for some time after the display gets off it freezes completely and doesn't respond . I have to force it to shutdown . The same thing happens if I shutdown the laptop while charging. I tested all components from uefi (extensive test) and nothing faulty came. I recently did factory reset and defragmentation of hard drive but still unable to solve this issue. There is no issue if I am working actively on the laptop or while its on battery this only happens if left idle on charging or shutdown while charging. I have recently installed the upgraded bios too.
Please help me solving this issue I am unable to confirm whether this is a serious hardware issue or this can be resolved by replacing any component?

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
- Does the computer shut down when the Ac adapter is unplugged?
Let's run a hardware diagnostics test on battery and Charger in order to isolate hardware or software related issue:
Use the following steps to open the Component Tests menu.
- Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
- Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
- On the main menu, click Component Tests.
- The Component Tests menu displays. Your Component Tests menu might be different, depending on the components installed on your computer.
- To run both tests simultaneously, in the Component Tests menu, click Power Source, and then click Run once. Each component can also be tested individually.
AC Adapter Test:
The AC Adapter test provides an interactive test to determine if the AC power adapter is functioning properly. A good battery is required for this test. Before running the AC Adapter Test, HP recommends verifying that your computer can receive power by connecting a known working AC adapter.
Follow these steps to perform the AC Adapter Test.
- In the Component Tests menu, click Power, and then click an AC Adapter Test.
- Click Run once.
- The AC Adapter Test begins.
- When the test is complete, the results are displayed on the screen.
Battery Test:
Follow these steps to perform the Battery Test:
- In the Component Tests menu, click Power, and then click Battery.
- Click Run once. The Battery Test begins.
- When the battery test is complete, the results are displayed on the screen. For additional battery information, click Battery Details.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
