Hope this is the right section of the board as I'm not sure where the problem lies.
Got a HP G5000 Laptop with vista. Had it for just over a year. In the last few days it has started turning off without warning, not completely - Just looks like its gone to sleep, black screen, lights still on. But it then needs turning off and then on to restart. Can happen 10 seconds after logging on, or 10 minutes. Has a mind of its own, and the programmes opened while all is well don't seem to affect it.
It doesn't start up normally after this, says theres been an error. Gives option to restart in safe mode, but the problem still occurs even then. Sometimes it says it will try to solve the problem but freezes or the screen goes crazy, statics lines and patterns everywhere.
This started a couple of days after my charger exploded which I'd blamed on the dodgy electrics of a new house, charger now doesnt work and I have a new one ordered. Could this have something to do with the problem?
Hope this makes sense, thanks a million in advance.
