Computer crashes/goes black and powers off when watching videos

[dbaker41795]

I am experiencing an issue where my computer randomly will go black and then power off. I have noticed this really only occurs when I am watching/streaming videos in full screen. This has happened when watching youtube or when steaming live cable. I opened a HP support ticket for this issue but my warranty expired before they resolved the issue and now I can't find a way to contact HP support. Has anyone else experienced this and did you find a resolution?

I ran all the diagnostics as you instructed and everything returned as normal. Any other ideas?

Power draining is suitable for a hardware reboot or hard reset to take place, and this does not erase personal information.
Many startup errors and other problems can be resolved by decreasing the energy accumulated in the hardware components. This procedure of reducing the accumulated energy is also known as a hard reset.
o Turn off the computer.
o Disconnect the computer from any docking station or docking station.
o Disconnect all peripheral devices, such as USB storage devices, external displays, or printers.
o Disconnect the AC adapter from the computer.
o Turn the equipment over and look for the battery compartment door to determine if your equipment's battery is removable or not.
o Now to consume all residual electrical charge of the capacitors that protect the memory, do the following since it is the basic of this:

 If you see an access door to the battery compartment, your computer has a removable battery. Remove the battery, press and hold the power button for 15 seconds, reinsert the battery into the compartment and proceed to the next step.
 If you do not see any access doors to the battery compartment, your computer does not have a removable battery. On most laptops with a non-removable battery, press and hold the power button for 15 seconds to complete the restart and proceed to the next step.

1. Reconnect the AC adapter to the computer, but do not connect any peripheral devices.
2. Turn on the computer.
If a Start menu opens, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, and then press Enter.

3. Once the peripheral devices are connected, run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all drivers.
