Compaq keeps shutting off... PLEASE HELP

Hey all, I have a Compaq V5000. My computer keeps shutting itself off after running for only about 2 minutes. I ran the Hard Drive test and it came back failed, so I assumed "okay i will replace the hard drive, reinstall windows and i should be good to go". I wish it had been that easy. Now that I have a different Hard Drive in there the computer is turning on, and as its 'Checking Hardware Configurations' and eventually "ready to install windows" the computer just shuts off! Clearly my belief that just relplacing the Hard Drive seems to be inaccurate? Somebody PLEEASE lend some advice or some help, i'm dying without my laptop!
