I had this old HP laptop that I upgraded RAM. Turns out it was not to be.
I have a HP Envy 700-375d CPU for 2 years now.
Yesterday while i was gaming , my cpu turns off by itself. I decided to reboot and see if its working. It turns on for like 5sec and shutdown again(with the windows 10 Shutting Down... sign). i googled the problem and tried a few things
HP Envy 700-375d Specs:
https://support.hp.com/lt-en/product/hp-envy-700-300-desktop-pc-series/6886619/model/7019115/document/c04347493
(Default was 12GB RAM , I added a 4GB DDR3 )
List of things i tried :
1. Replacing the Motherboard Battery.
2. Cleaned Processor heatsink and all the fans.
3. Cleared CMOS
4. Used my old CPU power supply.
5. Reseat RAM
None really worked. But after i cleared cmos , i managed to reach until my login user screen and it shuts down again.When i plug in my PSU Cord my cpu just turns on itself and shutdowns immediately. At random times my cpu will turn on for a split second and turn off again for like 5-8 times.
I haven't tried replacing the thermal paste yet because i replaced it like 6 months ago.
Any suggestion? And Thank You for taking your time to read my post
