Sounds like a hardware fault, probably a fan is stuck, or broken, causing over heating, and the laptop is shutting down to protect itself.
Try cleaning the laptop and check that everything is seated correctly, you should have access to the memory, and hard drive, via panels on the base of the laptop. You can also try hoovering, through the vents, to clean out any dust and dirt. |
