15-g020nr
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Can someone help with my laptop 15-g020nr. it keeps restarting randomly and sometime at a similar point

this laptop got upgraded some time back the restarting is new

i upgraded the ram to crucial 8gb ddr3l-1600 sodimm

i got an ssd instead of the old drive (PNY - 240GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive).

the restarting just started about beginning of august 2020 for some reason the pc restarts alot the pc boots and loads fine its good i can work on it .. just in a hury since i dont know when the next restarts

i installed windows 10 again and updated it to see if it will help .. the problem when away for a day and started again

im again re installed windows 10 from a usb not the latest so im updated the version to 2004

i can get the laptop to update since it restarts again and then i do the process over

i updated all the drivers i can from the device manger

i updated the current windows from the settings / updates

i updated the bios with the latest hp one from the download section for my pc

it has an event id 41 and also 10016, i tried to do some fixes from youtube but no luck still restarts often

i thought i left something loose from last upgrades .. dismantaled the pc and reinstall everything good and snug still nothing

clean all the dust and fan thinking it was over heating and also bought a cooler for the laptop

current status ...trying to install widnows 2004 and see what i get from that even doe i already had it before

what if i install windows 7? ..

cant install the original windows 8 i dont have the original OS IMAGE  DISK

i had the pc work for months with no hicups

thinking about installing the old drive even do i erased it after the pc work with the upgrades and had that drive as storage

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

The HP Cloud Recovery Tool allows you to download recovery software to a USB drive. You can use the downloaded recovery image file in order to install the Windows operating system. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

I tried this opetion and it did not work I was un able to get past the part where it asking for the product id..

I type the product number that I have in the back for the laptop case..is in the same same format as the example that shows up when asking the number...

It's not valid...so I can not finished the recovery 

How can I get a copy of that

HP Recommended

Reson I cant enter the correct number is that the laptop is not supported..it was made in 2015 not 2016 and up..this might be the reason why I can not finished the recovery process

last night i was trying to create a family movie and the laptop would reset randomly not letting me work on the project

its a clean install using the recovery disk i purchased

This sounds like hardware related issue with the computer and in order to fix this issue your computer needs to be serviced.
