No warning shutdowns can be Power (over/Under rails) related. Bulging caps on the motherboard are common.

While these can be age related, they can also happen on NEW systems (poor quality control by the cap maker. Wrong ESR rating chosen.)

A visual inspection will usually suffice. if the disc end with the X is domed

Severe thermal rise (eg loose heat sink) will also cause a fast power off
