Lenovo G50-30 Auto Shutdown

Hello, everybody! 2 days ago my laptop (Lenovo G50-30) started auto shutdowning every 5-15. I thought it could be an overheating but on touch I think the laptop's temperature is like every time since I bought it in 2015. Also my unsaved things in notepad++ have been auto-deleted, Chrome is a "run command", not a program and my Firefox is slowly than usual. What could be the problem? Thanks!

It's probably a virus

If It's already auto shutdown once, it starts again shutdowning when I turn it on but before it shows up the Windows. Also I can't log into my dual-booted Ubuntu.

Since you can't boot into windows properly , you won't be able to do a full virus scan anyway , you need a bootable solution , i recommend Bitdefender Rescue CD , if this doesn't work , sorry to say it's better to reinstall windows
Reinstall Debian/Fedora/Mint/Ubuntu and call it a day.

Well, now It is turning off before I log into Windows and when I'm in the BIOS so I can't even reinstall my Windows without a flash drive or disc.

But how this would help?

If it's actually shutting down while in the bios , then you have a hardware problem buddy

It's extremely likely that it's just malware related. It's easier just to reinstall the OS at this point.

EDIT - I didn't see the part about the BIOS sorry, yeah it's definitely a hardware problem. @OP you should check the warranty status and send it back but since you bought in 2015, it's probably expired by now.

Actually somehow I reinstalled my OS but with another problem, "Administrator" profile and don't know the account's password after "Other user" problem. But that's no matter. Yeah, it is expired.

Yea, I thought that but what a hardware problem can be?

I also forgot to say that my laptop's case can be opened at half because of the lack of some bolts and my usb ports don't work.
By the way, I reinstalled my Windows 10 because I opened my laptop at half last night.
At this point I would just get a used thinkpad, how were you able to install W10 if it constantly reboots? Or does opening your laptop allow you to do this? If that's the case then perhaps it is a throttling issue.

It reboots after 1-2 minutes.
I reinstalled my W10 with this case's pose
