Dude your repaints are awesome its a shame for you to get hindered with the tech problems you are having

so in my opinion and I'm sorry if this offends ppl but if most of you think of the amount of free repaints he has done and the fact that if you request some thing he dose it fictional or not (not many painters that would do fictional)
and some times dose it quick
so just think of how many aircraft repaints you have of his sat in your hanger
i think its about time we all showed some respect for this guy and start donating some coffee to get him back up and running
i for one would miss his repaints and he has done so many for me from WW2 - modern day

so Nath gunner drop you a 20 in your coffee fund mate  get back up and running soon

I GOT LOTS OF PAINTS I WANT YOU TO DO  Cheesy

I'm not convinced yet. Smiley Do you have a live linux cd that you can boot from. If not go to http://www.darnsmalllinux.org/ and follow the links to download. Burn the image to a CD and then boot it - DON'T INSTALL IT. You should be able to use a browser and a few other things and see if the machine will stay running outside of Windows.

Umm, the forum censor has changed the first part of the URL - instead of darn it should be d a m n - without the spaces of course

One of the stop messages that was posted earlier relates to potential driver or hard drive issues, not the fan. All I am trying to do here with the linux CD is eliminate Windows and it's various drivers as the cause. It may well still fail, but at least then we will know that it is in fact a hardware issue. Then fun begins, isolating the hardware  Smiley

Ok, now we're having fun Smiley

Are you able to remove the hard drive? Can you also let me know the full model name, I know it is an HP Pavillion dv5 but there should be a couple of other numbers or letters after that. I'll see if I can locate a service manual for it.

If you can remove the drive, try booting the from the CD again.
