Hi @VISHAL92,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Random shutdowns or automatic shutdowns after a specific period of time can be caused by various hardware and software issues. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue with your HP Pavilion G6 laptop.
- Overheating: Overheating is a common cause of sudden shutdowns. Make sure your laptop's vents are clear of dust and debris. Use a can of compressed air to clean out any dust from the cooling system. You might also consider using a laptop cooling pad to help with heat dissipation.
- Power Settings: Check your power settings to ensure that your laptop is not set to shut down after a certain period of inactivity. Go to "Control Panel" > "Power Options" and adjust the settings accordingly.
- Update Drivers: Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause instability and shutdowns. Visit the HP support website and download the latest drivers for your laptop model, especially those related to the motherboard, graphics, and power management.
- Windows Updates: Ensure that your operating system is up to date with the latest Windows updates. Sometimes, updates can address stability issues that might be causing the automatic shutdowns.
- Malware and Viruses: Run a full scan with a reliable antivirus program to make sure that malware or viruses are not causing the shutdowns.
- Hardware Issues: Faulty hardware components, such as a failing hard drive or malfunctioning RAM, can also lead to unexpected shutdowns. Perform hardware diagnostics or take your laptop to a professional technician for a thorough inspection.
- Battery Issues: If you're using the laptop without it being plugged in, there could be a battery issue. Try using the laptop while it's connected to the power adapter to see if the shutdowns persist.
- System Event Logs: Check the Windows Event Viewer for any error messages or warnings that might provide insight into what's causing the shutdowns. Look for patterns in the events leading up to the shutdowns.
- Software Conflicts: Certain software or applications can cause conflicts that result in shutdowns. Try booting your laptop in Safe Mode and see if the shutdowns still occur. If they don't, it might indicate a third-party software issue.
- BIOS Update: If none of the above steps work, consider updating your laptop's BIOS to the latest version, following HP's instructions. Sometimes, a BIOS update can resolve hardware-related issues.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
