My laptop crashed oddly.

I have a HP dv6000 series Windows Vista Laptop. I was using it Monday night to type an email to a friend and it suddenly died. I tried to reboot it, but it will not even turn on completely.

When I try to start it up, it will start the boot process and then shut down. it will then repeat until i remove the power supply.

I have never seen anything like this before and am worried.

If anyone has any idea what caused this, please post a reply.

You can try the usual generic reset, be sure to get your canned air and shoot a blast of air (short please) in the vents then try again.

Google DV6000 RECALL and you begin reading the tales of woe.

Your files are almost always salvaged by putting the laptop drive in some USB case but let's see if the usual helps.
