Look and run through the pages in your manual- particularly pages 21, and 22.

Shutting down like that can be from

overheating

This can be fluff and cats hairs, dust collecting in the cooling fans, / the heatsink to fan assembly becoming slightly detached from the cpu, front/rear cooling fans partially blocked, loose connection , or cpu fan not working/ cmos battery needs replacing etc:

If you try doing anything yorself- take proper precautions= unplug thr power cable- press stsrt button (you will find it spins up for a couple of seconds, even after power removed).

Find a pair of surgical rubber gloves to avoid introducing static electricity into the ram etc:

Upgrading or Replacing the Processor- a little video on both these pages might help you to see the inside.

Otherwise take it to a local repair shop.
