[EN] Laptop problem

Hello, I've bought a new laptop not too long ago (Asus K53E). The thing worked great untill recently... The laptop seems to just power-down at random, it's not the basic windows shut down, but it just goes dead (like pulling the power cable out of a PC).
The funny thing is, it only does that when I'm not doing anything and just leaving it afk (for example, downloading stuff via Torrent, or going out for a walk and leaving the thing on).

The specs:
4gb ram
640 GB HDD
Intel i5 processor (and an Intel graphics card)
Win7 64
For any other info, just ask.

Thank you for your time,

If you have warranty try to contact the Asus support. It sounds like a motherboard or CPU issu. Let the support check and they should do replace the faulty parts.

I wouldn't really jump to going that far. What about any software settings and driver issues? There was a timer set on the laptop, if you leave it afk for longer than 5 hours (300 min) it shuts down the HDD. Maybe there are any other settings like that, and I should check them out, any tips?
