| I have a Compaq Presario V5000 Earlier today I noticed that it was running sluggish, so, realizing it had been several months since I rebooted it, I ran the built-in system recovery. Had I known this would happen, Id have left it be. It formatted my hard drive fine, and proceeded to copy files out of the recovery partition. About halfway through though, the system lost power. Odd, I thought, so I started it up, and began the recovery again. And again. And again. It continually lost power, sometimes a moment after starting, sometimes halfway through the recovery. But it never made it all the way through. It makes it through POST fine, which originally made me think it might be the hard drive. But I can boot into BIOS with the hard drive out of the system, and it still dies shortly after. So, I'm not sure what to do. I have been in contact with HP/Compaq Tech support and they can't tell me nothing, all they wanted to do was sell me another warranty so that I could send it to them instead of them actually make an effort to help me over chat/phone. |

| Is it holding a charge? Could be the CMOS battery that needs replacing
