My friend who lives in another country is having random shutdowns on her laptop, they are completely random and it does not seem to be caused by heat.

I ran prime 95 with core temp and furmark with gpu-z and the temps were fine as far as i could tell, cpu maxed out at 79 and the gpu maxed out at 62. Also ran memtest and a hard drive read verify test to make sure those were fine (both came back 100% working no errors). What else can cause a laptop to shutdown? there is no battery in the system so I thought it might be the power adapter but i'm not to sure. any help \ advice would be appreciated.

Its a dell studio 1735 if that matters.

Bad battery can cause it. Tell him to keep it wired for a day and see if the problem ends.

Similar thing happened to me when the power cable is moved. Bad plug.

I'm going to see her in a few weeks so I will check the power adapter and reformat to win7 64 bit. Just thought I would get some more ideas on what It could be.
