Sounds like a power supply problem, also could be due to heat. Make sure your laptop is on a cool, static-free, surface. If you want to use it on your lap, place it on a board or binder first, to maximize circulation. If you can get a hold of one of those laptop pads with the fans in them, do it.
Laptops overheat frequently, it is always reccomended that you observe proper procedures on a laptop. If you wouldn't do it to a desktop, don't do it to a laptop.

Is the power actually turning off or is the notebook rebooting (restarting)?
If the power is turning off and then back on it could be an issue with the power button or another piece of circuitry. Without knowing your notebook mnufacturer and model I can't provide further information.
If the notebook is restarting typically Windows is configured to restart when a crtical error ocurrs. You can change this thorugh the Advanced Properties by Right-Clicking on My Computer.
That's not going to fix your problem, however. Please do the following:
1. Click on Start
2. Click on Run
3. type eventvwr
4. Press Enter
5. This will launch your event viewer
6. Look at the events under Application and System.
7. Try to estimate the time the computer shutoff or restarted and look at those events.
8. Post that information here and we may be able to resolve your problem
