The screen randomly blacks out 10 or more minutes after startup. Then within 10 seconds, the laptop shuts down by itself. This does not happen every time. Also the laptop does not switch on if I press the power button after shutting down. It eventually starts on the 4th or 5th attempt. What seems to be the problem? I am using 32 bit windows 10 home on core 2 duo T6600. There are no heating issues.

The display drivers are installed but need to be updated. Oh and one more thing I forgot to mention, sometimes the antivirus updates or browser history are lost after the laptop is restarted. It reads no updates done or shows history of an older session.
