Hey guys,

Had my HP Pavillion dv6700 laptop for about 3 months now and it's been perfect so far no problems at all. I'm usually ok when it comes to computer problems etc but i can't work this one out.

Last night i was using my laptop in the living room on my lap and i guess it was abit hot on my legs but anyway it crashed later on after i stopped using it. I guessed it was just a little problem so i turned it off for the night.

Now this morning everytime my laptop is on for say 15/20 minutes it will just crash, all programs don't respond and i can't even load task manager, i have to just to a manual restart. Tried a system restore to 3 days ago but i'm still having the same problems.

I'm using windows vista... do i have to bite the bullet, hope it's not a hardware problem and restore to factory settings ??

Any help would be most appreciated.
 
was you blocking the air vents?
i have a piece of hardboard to put my laptop on when i have it on my lap so the vents are always clear
my ex`s daughter had that problem and it was because she was resting her laptop on a cushion on her lap
