Hi.
My HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop has been freezing lately. Basically from the moment I turn the laptop on it can happen at any random time, but I can never use the laptop for more that 5 minutes before it freezes and ends up looking like this:
Then I can't use it and the only way to turn it off is just by keeping the on button pressed for a few seconds. It's not the display because I connected it to a tv and it looks the same and I even tried reinstalling Windows from scratch but it happened again when it was almost done installing Windows so I guess it's a hardware issue. I tried opening the laptop but couldn't see anything worng that was really obvious. I'm leaving a pic in case any of you notices something:
Just wondering what are my options here?
Thanks for the help!

Just wondering what are my options here?
- Is it something that I can replace myself (maybe the HDD) and solve the issue?
- Should I take it to someone for repair?
- Maybe it's time to simply let it go and let it rest in peace (it's 11 years old after all 😁)
Thanks for the help!
