HP Probook G1 - El Capitan 10.11 - Issue: Random Shutdowns

[kickokim]

Hi I updated my laptop to El Capitan some months ago and since then I've been getting some strange issues:
1. Laptop sometimes shuts down in random moments
2. Laptop often shuts down when I wake it up from sleep
3. Not so important, but if I plug my external HDMI monitor before turning on the laptop, all screens stay black

I used the new guide from RehabMan, but maybe there are some kexts that remained from old installations, could you help me figure out what the problem is?

-do I have to update or repatch DSDT/SSDT?

The guide has instructions for ACPI files (./build.sh, ./install_acpi.sh).

-I'll give android file transfer another chance cause I use it a lot, if problems continue I'll uninstall it

Read the FAQ.

-I don't know how to remove the MotohelperDeamon and MidiServer, I deleted them from the application folder ages ago!

Refer to software vendor instructions. Do fresh install otherwise.
