There are air intake vents under the keys on the keyboard. They````w are under the F1-F4, 1234, and the qwert keys. It is critical that they are clean. I used a vacuum cleaner. I placed it over a few keys, turned it on and turned it off. Moved he nozzle and repeated. I was afraid if I just picked up the nozzle and moved it I might suck the keys off. I have not had a shutdown since.
Is the laptop vented by a cooling fan? If not it is more than likely caused by lack of air flow around the laptop, check to make sure the fan is running. My laptop recently brpegan overheating due to a failed ventilation fan and it caused a lot of operating system problems. Hope this helps a bit with finding the solution.
