    nageki if it shuts down even on the recovery you probably have thermal issues have you ever cleaned your fans or repasted  if not probably its time to do so if youre out of warranty or you dont have any seals you can do it yourself if not you will have to send it back also check in the ram compartment you have a kill switch and if its probably pressed when you screw it back if youre unsure add some layers of electric tape to the bit that presses it down

    nageki you have to check which bit of the cover presses it down and make sure to add some layers of electrical tap to it to be sure its properly pressed when you put the cover back also one advice do not in any circumstances disassemble your heatsink out to clean the fans properly and the exit airflow unless you have thermal paste ready to re-apply i recommend kryonaut or similar

    ok so, you gave me an idea and i did that, however when i did that i took out the battery and now it works, however only without the battery, is the battery the issue?
    Also, i can't update bios becuase no battery, and i can do GPU benchmark just fine, but when i do CPU benchmark the laptop shut down, also, it shuts down randomly sometimes

    Install Battery Bar and check the battery wear %.

    nageki as @XdxD stated check your battery wear dont take your battery out it was not designed to work without a battery at all if you find out your battery its faulty you have to replace it and it shuts down because you dont have a battery connected

    Hey @nageki have you resolved your issue with changing the battery, have you bought a new battery?
    I have the same problem with the same model. It wont boot to Windows with battery attached, but without battery is turning on. The problem is that is booting very slow to windows it needs 3-4min. But after that is working fast in Windows. I even tried to put the battery when the laptop is on, and when i took the charger out after a minute it showed 6 hours left with 100% charged but when tried to open some things it shutt down by itself.
    Im not sure if i buy a new battery will it fix the slow booting? 
    Thanks in advance.
