From your description, it sounds like a motherboard failure. Generally about $100 on Ebay.

Hardware failure, most likely in the motherboard. Take the laptop to a repair shop for an in-depth testing. Beware, the repair will be expensive.
Your power supply is probably dying. You can bring it in to a pc shop and have them test it or you can test it yourself with a psu tester like one of these:
