Jeff, it sounds like the hard drive is failing. A relative with a
similar model had the hard drive fail and experienced these things
beforehand.
Is it still under warranty with HP?

I have a ZV5000 pavilion.
Every once in a while, the unit will just shut off, the programs never
close. When I turn it on, it takes a very long boot time. I never wait long
enough, I just do a hard power down, then restart after it cools. The next
time it starts fine.
I've noticed lately the fans seem to run a lot faster at times which makes
me think this is a heat related issue, but maybe not. It never used to be
like this. It's a big pain as the programs never close so my work is not
saved.
This laptop is about 2 years old.
Does anyeone have any ideas?
Thank you
Jeff
