If your HP Pavillion 15 laptop (ba003ds) is suddenly shutting off and the bottom of the laptop is warm, you can use this guide to replace your thermal paste.
Thermal paste is designed to assist the transfer of heat from your processor to the heatsink, to keep your processor nice and cool. A faulty or old application of thermal paste will have a reduced ability to transfer heat away from your processor, which may cause shutoffs.
Before using this guide, make sure your AC adapter is disconnected and that your battery is removed.
