How to keep my Compaq laptop from randomly shutting off?
I have an older compaq Presario v6000 and it randomly shuts off sometimes. It only does this when the power cord is plugged in so I can still run it off the battery. I tried taking the battery out and running it on just the power cord but that didn't work. My parents own an older HP that is doing the same. Does anyone know what might cause this?

check if the electricity works well when you plug a cord from a computer. but let me tell you something, check if your ram is full, is your computer is too full with alot of heavy softwares, programs, etc. this might cause that your computers shuts off by itself, it happened to me one time, and i took it to a tech and they repair it, the problem was that the memory of my computer was full AND I DIDN´T HAVE AN ANTI VIRUS! so that might cause you the problem too, virus can destroy your computer and sometimes completely. after their repair it which it took them about a week, my computer now is wonderful, is like a brand new computer. it doesn´t turns off by itself no more and is more faster. so check and see if that´s the problem. of course they did had to restore everything from my computer i lost some programs but then i install them again but it´s worth it!!! trust me don´t do nothing else or you will make things worse. i don´t know about your other HP computer it maybe the same thing or maybe not, but trust me let someone that knows about computers see your computer. is going to help you alot, maybe a little bit expensive but it´s worth it! if you don´t take your computer to someone else that knows about computers then you are going to crash your computer completely and then you´re going to regret of getting another one, and that will cost you more money than repairing it.

When I start my laptop, Compaq Presario?
When I start my laptop, Compaq Presario, it does not get past the startup screen, it does...?
...not boot even after restart? My laptop hangs on the Compaq logo screen. I have tried to reboot, tried taking the battery out, and have tried other electricity outlets. I also checked Compaqs website and still have to try removing and reinserting the memory chips. Any other ideas?

This does sound like a loose or damaged RAM chip or hard drive. I would take out both and clean the contacts before replacing
2 :
Sounds like it isn't loading the OS, but give a little more info please. First off what OS are you using? Can you boot it in Safe mode or in last known good config? if not, you may either have a problem with a corrupted boot, OS, or bios or a messed up MB or something (happened to my friend with his dell laptop). We can narrow this down a little later. If you can't get it to even show the screen for these menus, then it's going to be harder to fix. Try to hook up your hard drive onto another tower or laptop and see if you can boot into it. If you can, then it very well may be a hardware problem.

if you installed new software or hard ware recently that's your problem
4 :
That sucks! I am sorry about that. If you don't have warranty on it and you don't want to pay lots of money to take it to a local repair shop, you might have to put in the CD that came with it and reinstall it. The problem with that is that you might lose all your data.
5 :
It maybe that your HDD has been disabled in yout BIOS settings, is there any reason this could have happened or failing that your hard drive may have died on you... How long have you had it? The other possibility is a corrupt installation of Windows but I would put my money on a failed HDD.
