Could be overheating. Prop it up at the back so the fan can work propperly.

If its just going BAM off, it won't be a virus it'll be the laptop itself, could be anything.

where are you using it? laptops are pretty prone to overheating, make sure its on a hard flat surface when you're using it, so that air can flow underneath. if its on a cushion or on a bed or something then they heat up quickly. to prevent damage they turn themselves off. this would my first port of call

Cover it in Tomato sauce and let it stand for one hour.

If it's not overheating it could be the pin where the power cable is plugged into the back of the laptop. Seen this many times.
Is it doing it while its plugged into the mains?
