Several things it could be but im going to look at the obvious the battery and cord hook up
laptops when plugged into contstant 120 power the battery is supposed to go into stand by mode and shut battery off so power dont leak into battery
if you have low battery with it plugged into 120 the comp will still think the battery is powering the laptop if battery dead then comp shuts down lack of power

other thing is somehow you caught a virus that reboots comp from dos screen mode
the main thing i always ask is what was the last thing that happened before it did what its doing now
example= was there a power surge pop up screens ect.

    I have completely replaced power adapter and battery with no change. I feel this is something to do with a bad circuit board in the laptop. I here the power relay constantly cycling. And sometimes it does boot. Virus no, this is a pre-boot problem would love to know the most likely board and part number for immediate replacement.
