Laptop shuts down suddenly when I use PowerPoint

[arturosantos]

Hello, the model of my laptop is Pavilion 15-aw002la and it has an AMD A10-9600P processor.

My problem is when I work with PowerPoint 2016 the  laptop shuts down suddenly 

I don't know if the problem is the video driver from AMD, Microsoft Windows  or  PowerPoint .

I will appreciate if anybody can help me.

Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

As I understand the laptop shuts down while using the Microsoft PowerPoint,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Does the issue occur while using any of the other Microsoft Applications such as Word or Excel as well?

Have you performed a system restore?

Is the laptop heating up before it shuts down?

While you respond to that, I recommend you update the graphics card on your computer: Click here to find an install

If the issue persists, please download the Auto-detect AMD Tool and install the drivers from the manufacturer site as well.

Keep me posted,

Hi!

Thank you for your reply! 

I downloaded the driver from the first link you post me and it seems my problem is solved!

The problem begins when I tried to update the drivers to the latest using the AMD-autodetect-tool..., with this experience I prefer to keep the older drivers to maintain the computer working properly.

If the problem persist I will appreciate your help again.

Best regards.
