Windows 10: Windows randomly shutting down

I'm in some desperate need of assistance. I just did a rebuild of my Windows 11 machine and it is pretty barebones at the moment except for a few Steam games and Office 365 and the usual suspects of Chrome, etc. I'm currently running with what should be tenfold of the resources necessary however, every time I try to play a game after a few minutes Windows just shuts down completely and no, nothing resource intensive is running in the background. I've adjusted the power settings, I've verified the integrity of the files of the OS and the games and am at a loss here. It's acting like it's overhe

Laptop randomly shuts down after latest Windows 10 update

Since the latest update of Windows 10 my computer decides to randomly shut down after every couple of minutes. First the screen goes black, then the sounds stops and after quite a while the power also goes down.

Obviously I though of cleaning the fan with a big vacuum, as suggested on My Windows 10 Computer Randomly Shuts Down . However, after doing this, the shutting down goes even quicker. I cannot even properly log-on before the shutdown takes place.

What should be my next step?

Ps. The computer is quited aged (roughly 3 - 4 years). The battery is dead enough such that I always need to have it plugged in an outlet. It might just be "done for" but I'm hoping to revive it for just a little bit more.
