I have been troubleshooting a friend's HP Pavilion All-in-One 20 which goes for 10 minutes, overheats and switches itself off. She has taken it to a repairer who could not fix it. It is three years out of the warranty. In my opinion, it is now a heap of junk. It is a design fault in the machine, and I think that HP should recall all the machines that are failing through overheating and either fix the problem or give people their money back, regardless if it is out of warranty or not. I would not recommend anyone buying these machines. Warning: If you buy an HP Pavilion All in One, you are very likely to be disappointed and frustrated when it overheats and packs up. What I suggest is that when you are considering buying a new computer, look on Google to see what models are the most reliable. I have had a Samsung Laptop for a number of years, and have had no problems with it at all. My daughter bought an Acer laptop, and it kept overheating and switching off. I have to run it with a desk fan blowing directly on to it. Yet I have another Acer that does not have that problem at all. So LET THE BUYER BEWARE when considering buying an HP Pavilion All in One. You'd be better off buying a standard tower type computer with a separate monitor. They seem to be much more reliable.
