Toshiba Laptop switches off while charging, but works fine in safe mode.

OS is windows vista,

laptop model - Toshiba satellite A305 series

Please anyone help me on this.
 
What do you mean by switches off.

Completely loses power?
Goes through a shutdown?
Goes into standby?
Screen turns off, but keeps running?
Blue Screen of Death?

Are there any errors or strange sounds?

Have you changed any settings recently?
