Hello all,
At this point I think I need more help defining the issue before we attempt resolution.
Fairly old HP laptop: HP Pavilion 8301nr bought in 2006
Recently installed Windows 7 (Professional I think)
Prior to that I had Win XP. I've had 1 battery replacement before Best Buy's 3 year protection ran out. The past few years it seemed the fan wasn't doing its job and it would overheat and shut down. After the Win7 install (last Autumn time frame) it doesn't seem to want to stay on at all. I just replaced the fan and heat sink and now it won't stay on to through start up at all. I replaced the CMOS battery this morning as well but that didn't change anything.
Please help.
