Only the HP service center will have replacement motherboards, power supplies and such to find out which part has failed. "Fairly new" can be under a year, but for some of us, 5 years is new too. I reseating what parts you can get to doesn't cure it, then it's time to call HP for repair.

Hi,
I have a fairly new HP zt1130 laptop and it had been shutting down on its own after being on for only five minutes. It gave no warning and did not log off of windows, but simply turned up as if it was out of power. I did some tests and my battery and power cord are fine so I assumed that the problem was a virus.
I ran all of my antivirus software to no avail so I decided to format my hard drive and start over with the boot disk. Now the boot disk will only run for 5 minutes because the computer STILL shuts down just as before. Does anyone know why it does this? Thanks
