    Here i would like to ask you to solve your problem :

    Are there any error ? is your Laptop hotter then normal ? your fan is working properly ? checked the power settings ?

    Mostly it happens when it get overheated , or some problem in power jack . so check that first .you can clean the heat sink with compressed air

    Perhaps your battery is defective ? When does it shut down after 5 to 10 min or some time ?

    This problem are really hard to trace and the reason could be faulty component, and the main reason could be (overheating) clogged fan or heatsink , In mostly the laptop have air duck run from the side or the back . Do you use the laptop in a dusty/linty environment? just clean your fan and laptop to see if that work .

    Download some common diagnostic tools. Memtest86+ for system RAM and Drive Fitness Test for your hard drive.

    You should try some common diagnostic tools, or you should go for Memtest to test your RAM and the Drive Fitness Test for your hard drive. This could also be in case of a Bad hard drives and RAM ,Also try taking some compressed air and blowing out your cooling system.
