It's overheating. That is what causes computers to shut off by themselves without warning.
Yeah, I'd say that too. One thing you can do though if it's overheating is buy a laptop cooling pad, since there is nothing you can really do on your computer that will help cooling.
Get a can of air from walmart and blow it around the inside of your computer. That you described is almost definitely caused by over heating. Usually the CPU, so focus on that area.
Neither of those solutions will help if the problem is with a heat sink either being missing, or broken, or if the thermal paste bonding the heat sink to the chip has cracked.

This is most likely the issue. Sometimes if you leave the plug in the whole time it is ok. You can fix it yourself.. But it is not easy.. I would recommend sending it in to be replaced/ repaired
The air can is the cheapest and easiest check though if it is over heating, and requires the least technical knowledge. Its always my first try for such problems.
Its not over heating DX I removed the casing and started minecraft, and the fans were both running, I got two fans in their
fans running means nothing, it the cpu's heatsink isn't 100% attacthed to the cpu then it can cause the cpu to overheat and the computer will thusly powerdown to protect itself.
get yourself a temperature monitor program (speedfan is a good basic one) and monitor all the temps of your system.
An average idle temp for the cpu would be 30c (don't know the F) and the max temp would be 75c ish (it may be set to shutdown at lower than that, depends on bios settings)
Idle temps will vary by cooling and climate of where you live (my system idles at 23c due to water cooling and being in the UK)
Ughhh >.< so this is a problem I've been having with minecraft, whenever I play it, my computer shuts off, like as if someone unplugged it
Its definatly not over heating, I checked the back, like I just woke up decided to play minecraft, and it shut off after like 15 minutes, =_=
I have 4 gigabytes of ram, I don't really know my specs but this hasn't been a problem before
I normally play with minecraft on 50 fps, like a month ago this problem never occured but now its happening over and over and over
can I get help? please

Its not over heating tho, after it shuts off I check and its cool

The air won't be hot if the heat can't move from the chip to the heat sink to the air.
Instead the chip will be hot enough to cause 2nd degree burns.
