If it's not overheating it could be the pin where the power cable is plugged into the back of the laptop. Seen this many times.

Is it doing it while its plugged into the mains?

Yep, its overheating problems that usually turn it off, you can see the temp it auto shuts down at in the BIOS

If its just going BAM off, it won't be a virus it'll be the laptop itself, could be anything.

Could be overheating. Prop it up at the back so the fan can work propperly.
