Did the unit start shutting down after a software or windows update?

Please provide the complete model# of the unit.

Please perform these steps:

Leave the computer in the bios outside of windows for about 3 or 4 hours and check if it shuts down. If it does, then the issue is hardware related and the unit needs to be sent in for repair to be serviced.

Steps to go to the bios:

• Then please go to the bios page and load bios defaults.
• To do this, please keep tapping the Esc key gently several times as soon as you power on the computer.
• It takes you to the startup menu.
• Then press the F10 key to go the bios.

To get the unit serviced you need to contact HP phone support by following these steps:

They will be happy to assist you immediately. As the unit is new and under warranty, repair services will be taken care of by HP. Do not get perturbed by this. We will always stand by our product.

Also, if the unit is new and purchased directly from HP, you get a 30-day return window to exchange the product for a replacement by contacting HP shopping via this link: http://store.hp.com  Please select the country and the phone number is listed on that website. You need to dial that number to get this done.

If it does not shut down in the bios, please ensure to run complete system diagnostics to eliminate hardware failure from this link: http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03467259

Follow the option “Testing using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)” It takes about 2 hours to run.
