Hi there I have a HP Pavilion zv6115EA which has a problem with booting

Sometimes it will boot and go into linux but will shut off after about a minute or if I do something intense like use the wireless or similar

It has powered down whilst in the bios

My immediate thought was memory so I swapped out both memory modules with working ones from another laptop but still the same

Next I thought it was a heating issue so I took apart the laptop down to the motherboard and cleaned the cpu and heatsink and reapplied thermal paste and put it back together and it still has the same issue.

The battery is nothing more than a paper wieght and when in linux i can do most things so dont think its a graphics thing

could it be the cpu is on its way out or does it seem to be more about the motherboard

any help please on this
