Restart the machine in questions and
keep pressing f2 for bios. connect your
charger then connect to the mains
to get power then leave it there.

l@@k at your clock and write down the time
you left it on and come back later in about 1.30hrs time
the machine would have turned itself off

let us know. also what sort of things do you usually do
when it turned off, i.e. internet or playing music /movies
I really appreciate your reply. It usually switches off when ever it's on and plugged in the light regardless of what am doing. I'v also noticed that the small fan inside it is no longer blowing causing the system to be too hot when in use. What do i need to do about it.

Please stop using that system for now. Its switching off because of over heating

the cooling system is faulty.
It is either the fan underspinning, the thermal glue peeled off, or dust accumulated from using the laptop in a dusty area.
Get a qualified engineer to fix it......
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
1. You asked me toscan for hardware changes. I did that and saw "other devices" with the yellow mark, i checked the properties and saw the error code "28" which you asked me to check for before doing the autofix.

2. The DVD/CD ROm wasn't changed, the engineer said he had to work on the board.

3. After the repair, I discovered it couldn't read CDs any more, it could only read DVDs. I thought the probkem could be caused by drivers, so I checked the device manager and under the CD/DVD part, I saw that the DVD part had no yellow mark but the CD did have the mark. I want to 100 tools driver CD but, it couldn't read it.

4. As for the autofix link you gave me, I'm will try it when i take the laptop to a cafe cos, i could not access it on phone and my MODEM is out of data.
I hope I can now do the autofix, cos you said i should let you see the code first.
Thanks for your assistance, I'll get back to you after I try the autofix.

Depends on how big and scarce the speaker is . Might cost you around 2k.

Also on your battery ish . Shouldn't cost more than 6-7k depending on location.

Is it brand new or fairly used?

The error is same as windows blue screen of death and is mostly likely caused by conflicting hardwares or an outdated driver for one of your hardware components. For example, if your sound card driver does not support Windows 8, simply plugging in a set of headphones could produce a DPC Watchdog Violation error. While not as common, software installations that affect your system software could also lead to DPC Watchdog Violations and the corresponding blue screen of death.


Update your network drivers if it however doesn't work. beep me that's if you are in lag.

Okay. lets wait and see.Last resort is to take back to where it was repaired, at the
end of day you paid them for their service.

Thanks. Do you know how long a new battery can last?
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by onegig(m): 12:32am On Nov 29, 2013
slap1: Thanks. Do you know how long a new battery can last?
depends on use. Batteries are electronic consumables you can't say how long they would last except if you are talking about use time per full charge then i guess for that price 3 to 4 hours max if you are just using simple applications and 2hours if it is movies you watching.

My PC do not work on battery, it's only when I plug it to power that it works. Then if I'm using it on power and the lights goes off, the laptop will switch off at once instead of switching to battery. Please what is the cause. I use hp pavilion dv6-3381si.

RE: Battery not holding a charge

Click on the start menu, type in hp battery test
and carry out the test. it would either passed, replaced
or weak. if you cant find hp battery test either you have up or down
graded your operating system. google hp battery test and run it
you'd need the charger to be plugged in.
