Laptop Issues

[Tatertots]

Hello, I jjust recently purchased a laptop from ebay and am having some issues with it, It is an HP Pavilion ze1202. The thing starts up fine, but then randomly shuts off for no reason. If any computer savvy people could help me that would be great

Low battery maybe?

Low battery maybe?

Haha I would hope it was something that easy , no I can remove the battery and plug it in and it will still randomly shut off.

Does it completely shut off or does it bsod and reboot? Heat issues? Does it happen more often under heavy load? Any additional info would be great.

Yes, it randomly shuts off and does not reboot. No heat issues and no load, it just loads windows xp and shuts down. There was something about the disc drive and he had to get it replaced, maybe that could be the reason?

have you ran any virus scans? because some can get in deep and control your whole system. Has is happened since you got the laptop? or was it fine like the first week? because it could be faulty and maybe the reason the guy put it on ebay was because his warranty expired =/
