Computer Problems
I've been having a problem with my laptop over the past couple of weeks.
It usually starts with the computer crashing (screen goes black - lights stay on and fans keep going). I switch it off and then when I try to restart it does one of three things:
- It restarts normally, after which it may or may not crash again
- It goes through check disk, deletes a few random entries then restarts
- The lights come on, the DVD drive makes a noise, the fan comes on for a couple of seconds, then the whole things gives up and tries again. After a few goes though it will usually start up.
I've since formatted the hard drive and done a system restore but it hasn't solved the problem. Does anyone know what the problem might be? It's an HP dv6000.

If you google for the issue it seems there are a couple of people having the same / similar problems. Most likely it is indeed overheating as Katiestar suggested. The fact your fans kick in so hard could indicate there is indeed a heat issue which your cooling system doesn't handle properly in "smartfan" mode. At the moment the computer crashes smartfan is disabled and the fans come back on at full blast.
