Overheating is the most common cause of sudden 'shut down' (shut down, as if someone had just hit the power switch, not shut down as in "windows shut down").

'battery' - does that mean you have a laptop?

Mine does this. I bought a cheapo dock thing with fans and it hasn't done since ('though it saps battery power).

Perhaps it conserves power normally used for cooling, when unplugged.

I used to leave my laptop in my car and when it would freeze outside, it would fuck up the battery. nowadays my batter will last maybe 2 minutes before it dies. replacing the battery would probably fix it.

Rechargeable batteries are somewhat fragile and do have a shelf life. My laptop battery has been useless for almost a year and died after 30 months of almost never being used :(
