Welcome to HP Support Forums. 🙂 I came across you post and would like to help. I read that you have an HP 1000 series laptop and it shuts down after 30 seconds. Do not worry as I have a few recommendations though.
- Let the laptop shutdown.
- Remove the battery out.
- Disconnected AC adapter from the laptop.
- Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
- Reconnect the battery and plug the AC adapter.
- Power ON the laptop.
If the laptop shuts down in 30 seconds again then please continue with the below steps:
-
Turn off the computer.
-
Plug the notebook into a power source using the power adapter.
-
With the computer off, press and hold the Windows logo key
and the B key at the same time.
-
Still pressing those keys, press and hold down the Power button on the computer for 2 to 3 seconds, and then release the Power button but continue to hold the Windows and B (or V) keys until the BIOS update screen is displayed or until you hear a beeping sound (usually 8 beeps).
-
The power LED light remains illuminated and the screen remains blank for about 40 seconds before anything appears on the display. You might also hear beeping sounds. Eventually, an HP BIOS Update screen displays and the BIOS update begins automatically.

6. If the HP BIOS Update screen displays, after the BIOS is recovered, a Continue Startup button displays and a timer counts down. Click the Continue Startup button to restart the computer immediately. The computer restarts automatically when the timer reaches zero.

When the computer restarts, a message similar to the following displays: A system BIOS Recovery has occurred. BIOS Recovery (500) Enter – Continue.Press the Enter key to continue immediately or to allow the computer to reboot automatically.
After restarting, Windows might display a message stating that the computer was improperly shut down or that a boot problem was detected. Read and respond to the screens to continue.
If the issue still persists after performing the above steps then remove the battery out and try to power on the laptop with only the charger. IF nothing works then we may have to reseat the memory inside the laptop. Please let me know the exact model no. of your laptop and I will provide you easy instructions to reseat the memory.

I will wait for your response. Cheers! 🙂
