my hp pav. dv6000 has overheated and shut down. it won't power up again, what should i do to solve this problem.

Check the fan. If it's not working you'll need to fix or replace it and hope that everything else still works.

Check you fan and keep in cool and flat surface.

Hold power button until the little blue light that is beside the card reader goes out. That will get you restarting and will work itself out and go away once all updated.

Maybe swap DVD drives to install Vista (use YouCam for webcam and QuickPlay for remote control to work)Hope this helps...

This worked for me, I had black screen, continuous restarting, no bios, etc...
