well were to start
at the moment i wont be taking any more requests for repaints as my laptop had a massive fit today and is now shutting down at random points (think i killed this one too) lol
i have tried every thing to fix it but i guess thats what you get for buying second hand stuff and i cant replace this one when it finally goes (shame because i do enjoy painting FSX aircraft)

any way i will try to finish all outstanding repaints if i can keep this thing alive long enough
and ill just have to see what happens in the new year

i will pop in to the forums now and then if i can get on line and thank you to all of you for downloading my paints  

It's a pity you can't get a new one. Or even another second hand one. You obviously need a lot more "cups of coffee"!

As balus said, if you give more info, maybe we can help you to get it working properly again.

Sounds like a fan or drive - pity you're the other side of the world

Next time you get a blue screen write down the STOP message, not all of it, just the STOP 0x000000xx where x is a number - but i would lay odds on overheating, although I find that surprising in the UK at present

just had a crash and it went so fast all i got was 0xA ill see if i can get the full code next time


EDIT i got this much this time STOP: 0x0000000a

and this one just poped up
STOP 0XC00000221 ans some thing about CPU again the screen dont stay up long enough for me to wright it all down

no nothing it got reformated last night for the 3rd time this week and still all the problems contune

Hi Nathan.

If you've got a couple minutes after you start before the Blue Screen Of Death. Do this:

Click on START, RIGHT click on My Computer.
Select Properties from the menu box.
After the System Properties box shows, click on the Advanced Tab.
Then in the Startup and Recovery section, click on Settings button.
UNCHECK the Automatic Restart and then click on OK to close the, then on OK again to close the System Properties box.
(see image for a bit of a guide)

Next time you get the BSOD, the screen will remain and you can get all the information displaying on the screen. To continue after that, press the power button to shut it down.

i that may be the case Edwin as i have formatted 3 times and still shuts down and that with the starting up problem i don't think the CPU is well lol and not easy to fix on a laptop other than to spend a fortune in sending out to get fixed
so i think its going to be a paper weight soon lol
but thanks for all the help guys ill just have to start a little jar for a new comp fund and hope i get enough for a replacemant before the summer  

its just a pain lol as i cant get much done at the moment with it as it is so I'm of out in a mo to the comp shop down the road and spend £75 just to have it looked at to find out whats going on with it so if i find out to day ill let you know but for now i think the prognosis is not good lol

well thank you for your support sam i didnt know you loved my work that much.

any way news update the chip set is messed up on the motherbord cpu is cooked and a few other things all in all lots of thing need fixing and he is suprised its still going so dont worry if i dont come back one day it will be that the laptop went to the scrap heep in the sky but as soon is i get a replacement i will be back and painting like mad and by then Captain sims will have lots of NEW aircraft for me to paint 

thanks

linux i dont think that will work if he has a fan to the back of the laptop and suffer shut downs its now a software problem its hardware

I'm telling you its not going to work you will get the same problems
if your CPU and the chip set are damaged using another OS will not work

ok ill tell you how i went and see if you can find out what went wrong

Ok, now we're having fun

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.

i found this on a forum would this be your problem

Although in some scenarios resetting the bios may solve your problem.. In most cases the problem is your video card which unfortunately is integrated into the motherboard. The video card will not post (show a display) because it has failed. This seems to be a relatively common problem in the DV5000 to DV9000 range of hp laptops. I have ran into 3 identical scenarios in the same week, and one of the new motherboards did the same thing after one day. Supposedly one of the main reasons that the video cards in this particular series fail has to do with the heat from the processors heatsink passing across the video card.

You may well be right, however diagnostics is a process of elimination, humour me, I've only been doing this for 25 years 

i not sure how long this thing is going to last lol

ok - well it was worth a shot, if it isn't under warranty then it may be time for a new machine. Sorry I couldn't have helped further.

thanks balus for the help i would try any thing to keep this going insted of spending out for a new one but i think its not ment to be

but any way thanks for all you have done for me to day

if i had that kind of money i would get one but unfortunatly i cant

I'd say your CPU is overheating and shutting down to protect itself from further damage.

Mark

like i said i think every one that had repaints from you should get that loos change out of the pockets or from behind the sofa and put some on your buy me a coffee fund

lol the coffee field i forgot about that well can you throw in a nice Brazilian girl as well
