Best Answer

The battery is dying and won't hold a charge.

If you have a Laptop is the power plugged in all the way or did the cord come out and did not charge the battery.

You may be over heating and the computer is shutting down to save the computer from damage. Either clean out the vents or have a shop do it as it requires a partial disassemble on most computers. Are your fans always running on high or are they packed solid with dust?

Use the "Hardware Test" DVD or look in your manual and see what the key strokes are to boot into it on later models and see if any warnings come up.

Your power supply is dying.
