Its a Toshiba Satellite 1800 series. 256 RAM 20 GB HD. Win XP. The laptop says the battery is fully charged. If I run it off the battery, it discharges normally, then shuts off before the battery discharges. If I take out the battery, and run it off the adapter, it shuts off. If I put the battery in and run the adapter at the same time, it still shuts down. But, if I take out the battery and run it in safe mode on the adapter. It stays on all night. I have disabled the hibernation and standby modes. I have run a virus scan (AVG) and an ewido on line malware scan. All come out clean.

There is no update applications running in the start up menu. It is running as cool as a cucumber.

The usual causes for random shutdowns are:
1)Overheating triggers auto-shutdown to protect the CPU;
2)Memory module going bad;
3)Power supply going bad.

Its very possible to need a new battery. Batteries dont hold charges forever.

sounds like a bug in your system.... run your system with an anti-virus software... if this does not werk, reformatting your system always works....
