Obviously, the automatic shutting down of your Acer Aspire 5742 laptop is caused by the overheating of the CPU/processor and other parts. The only solution for this is to bring your device to a service/repair center immediately before the CPU burned out. This is a hardware issue which requires repair from computer hardware experts.

If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask here at HelpOwl. Experts here are always willing to answer your questions to the best of our knowledge and expertise.
