I know this is an old thread. But I've got this exact same problem on two HP8510w. I just put up with it by letting cool down for 5 minutes. Strange is once it gets into Windows it does keep running OK. But today I was trying to install a SSD. And both kept cutting out very quickly just could not complete the Ghost restore before it cut off. I raised the keyboard and felt CPU and it was very hot. I placed an ice pack on it and it ran OK. So it seems for some reason the CPU heats up to much very quickly whilst booting, but once running WIN XP it keeps cooler. So I'm guess maybe it is something in the BIOS is setting the CPU to run really hot somehow. So if the CPU is running very hot, it will keep tripping out on a reboot. Of course doing a restore it takes much longer to get to windows via the CD boot. I am running BIOS V14 and there is now a release V20 on the HP driver web site for th HP8510w. But apparently you cannot roll back the BIOS to earlier version once you go to V.20.
BTW: I did clean out the fluff n stuff from the fan and the fans always on. So its not that. I've not yet upgraded to BIOS V.20. I'll try that next.
