I have an HP dv6000 laptop. A few days ago while operating, a whirling sound started located from the fan area, which continued and was growing louder and the laptop turned off.
When I tried to turn on my laptop, it was showing a black screen with an "underscore" blipping line at the left top corner of the screen and it wasn't turning on. I turn it off and try to turn it on again and it was doing the same exact thing. Turned it off again and retried, this time I pressed the escape button and when it gave my the option to "start windows normally" I pressed it and it froze! Turned it off again tried the same but this time after the option for windows I didn't do anything and it started normally. For a couple of days I was turning it on like this till the other day that it wasn't turning on at all but kept restarting and restarting..... Tried to relocate the RAM, no luck. Same when I tried everything concerning the battery or the HDD. Any suggestions? I am getting the impression that maybe my CPU is fried.... What can I do? Ok, the laptop is a bit old....bought it in January 2008 ....but I want to save it.....
