Hello,
I have my pavilion laptop suddenly have power outages. Verified that the product is under warranty and submitted a case. The helpful support responded. Closed my case. Then proceeded to tell me that I had to go to another site to submit. The link led me to exactly where they just closed the case and I could see my case I just opened marked as closed. Thanks for the help. In an email, this very helpful support person told me to navigate to chat and their directions didn't lead me to any chat. So I'm left with a product under warranty that HP has cleverly hidden all means of support and actually fulfilling the warranty.
========================================================================================
So throwing out the case notes and hoping anyone within HP or the community can lend guidance.
roduct: HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC
Problem description: Getting multiple eventid 41 associated with sudden shutdown of computer ("The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."). I initially thought it was disk crash so replaced the hard drives and problem continues. I checked the power supply cord which was facing a recall and that appeared fine (not covered by the recall). Seems this is under warranty and this is freezing me up from doing work.

Troubleshooting steps.
Ran disk check, even after doing putting in new hard drive. No issues. Ran memory check. No issues. So memory and disk appear fine. Could be PSU based upon error code supplied. Odd w/ laptop. Forums suggested possible motherboard issue.
