I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook PC/HP Pavilion dv1000 laptop.
For some reason, it just randomly turns off, and I don't know why. This might pose a dilemma later on, as I am starting, and if I'm working on something very vital to my success, and it just turns off, I would've lost all my hard work.
I pretty much always leave it AC-power connected. I rarely bring my laptop anywhere.
I think the battery-life is short also. I would say a fully-juiced battey only lasts around an hour and some more.

oh Wow an hour? the battery might need to get checked out and maybe replaced. This is the best assumption i can give is that the battery is overheating when you leave it on for long periods of time. Some systems have a default to where if the CPU or the system somewhere is too hott the computer might and sometimes will shut down automatically to keep it from burning up or starting a fire. So just have it get checked out for the battery or even if you want replace the battery with a brand new one and see if it happens again.

It could be a virus, you should download something to search if there are trojans or spyware. Or it could just be the battery you may want to look into a buying a new battery.

the usual causes for shutdown are overheating- overheating causes comp to shutdown 2- your memory module could be going bad. 3- power supply going bad. also could be a virus, did you do a virus scan. inside of computer could have dust in it causing the overheating
