Hello Tom's Hardware Community,
Today, I've had a rough time in computing. First, this morning I had a BSOD which claimed to be from some kind of "Power State Driver Failure". The computer rebooted without any lasting affects so far as I could tell. It was operating normally for awhile at which point I installed Audacity. The program was working fine aside from one error which caused the program to close. Awhile later, I shut down the PC. I returned sometime later and attempted to boot up the machine. At this point, it would only boot to a blank screen, and the keyboard lights blinked to indicate what seems to be a CPU malfunction. The computer is an HP Pavillion dv5z notebook with an AMD Turion X2 Ultra processor. I'm just curious if a CPU can be functioning one minute, be turned off and sit in a room for a few hours and then all of a sudden no longer work. This appears to be exactly what happened, but it just seems really odd. Anyway, thank you for your time. I already talked to HP. After explaining the issue, the service guy simply referred me to their "great Holiday deals". I realize that it may in fact come to this, but if there's some less critical problem causing this, I'd love to know. I'd rather not have to buy a brand new computer. Thanks again.
