Ive got an Asus laptop and it comes supplied with some power gear software which changes the settings of the laptop,(shutdown/hibernation etc) realted to the way the laptop is being used.

When the laptop shuts down have you been using it for a long time or leaving it idle, or watching a dvd, as the laptop probably assumes that it isnt being use (when watching a dvd) and therefore turns off, mine did that to me once, but i'm sure it was the power settings, it does change automatically, and you can disable it, maybe give that a try?

I havent had any other problems with it shutting down, the power settings do seem to take over quite frequently, so that may be a cuase. My laptop also feels pretty hot underneath, but it didnt seem unusual to me as the cpu temp is very low and stable.

Not sure if it will help, but it may be wortha look if they couldnt find anything wrong with it?
