What kind of laptop is it?  This actually makes a difference.

Apple or a standard PC? 

In most cases though, the cooling space is on the bottom of the laptop... for dumb reasons... so if you simply lift the laptop up, prop it up somehow, it should cool itself find.  Especially if your laptop is on soft blankets, your lap, or something else, it can overheat quickly.  Best to use it on a hard surface or have it propped up so it can cool.

You can keep the topic up.  Might help someone else.

Turn down settings.  Maybe you are running too many programs at once, or something that is intensive to the computer?  At the worst, you might have to get a laptop fan.

Laptop fans for as cheap as $10. 

The only other factor I can think of is, is the temperature hot where the laptop is located?

That's weird.  Maybe it is so new... it.... I don't know?  Try searching up the issue online for your exact laptop?

I recommend going to a 5 Below store and getting a computer fan there. Even if it breaks, it still props your computer above a solid surface and allows the air to cool it or at least keep it from overheating. Weird how a computer doesn't have a fan though... I've never heard of that. Sounds crazy haha

Where do you use it? Using it on a bed, or your lap can heat it up. Using it while charging may also be a factor. My only suggestion, is a low-power cooling fan.

Wow, 5 fans! That's crazy prepared man. But glad it's working, now hopefully your computer won't overheat and constantly turn off.
