Windows 10: Laptop keeps randomly shutting down without any indication why.

Dear all,I have been getting an error recently where my laptop running Windows 10 randomly shuts down and immediately after restarts and I have no idea why this keeps happening. There's no set time frame in which this happens: sometimes, it can keep running for days on end, other times, it takes only a few minutes between restarts. Here's what I tried:I tried looking for the error message in the Event Viewer, but nothing seems to be there. I can only find the startup information and everything after the shutdown, but there's no error message immediately before that. What I did find, however,

laptop randomly shutting down

I have a gateway laptop w/ amd turion 64x2 processors,windows vista. I use to be able to play games all day, do 10 things at once and my laptop was fine. All of a sudden i have ran into the problem of my laptop randomly shutting down. At first it was just shutting down when i was playing video games (games that doesn't even have the greatest of graphics and that i played ever since i had laptop which has been for about 2 years); ide say i would be able to play about 5-20 min and randomly would shut down. Then i stopped playing video games on this and now just download music and playing music and if i am downloading music and playing music and converting music it will shut down on me. Seems to keep getting worse and worse, like today i was just browsing the internet it it shutdown on me. I did get a blue screen the other day as well, first time it has happened to me on this laptop. If anyone could tell me what this could be i would greatly appreciate it.

Another note: If i unplug my laptop from the recharger i can usually play until the battery is dead, but it will make my computer real laggy and choppy so its not even worth to do when playing games.

Sounds like the Powersupply you have is being problematic, or something is overheating, that last part of your quote gave me a clue in, now other thing id recommend is getting in the base of that laptop and cleaning it thoroughly, once you do that, clean the laptop every other month.

 

After Upgrade New laptop randomly shuts down.

After upgrading to Windows 10 My laptop will randomly shut down (without warning) during use. It doesn't seem to relate to what I am doing and it happens with random frequency. It started with random restarts and a notification popped up indicating that
reinstalling Windows 10 may be the solution to the problem, that it may not have downloaded correctly. Since then it doesn't restart randomly, it just shuts off. I have to press the power button to reboot.

Any suggestions or similar issues? Power button light also stays on each time this happens.
