My lenovo laptop just started randomly shutting down yesterday both on and off the charger. It wont stay on long enough for me to run a scan so Im not sure if its a vorus or not but I dont't think it is because I only use it for gaming

It doesn't sound random at all. It sounds like every time you power it up it shuts down. It could be due to a bad battery or overheating.

A bad battery can cause the charger to draw too much current and the charging circuit senses that and shuts down.

Overheating will also cause a laptop to shut down. It may just need a good cleaning internally.

I would start with the cleaning. If you're not comfortable taking it apart for a thorough cleaning then take it to a shop.
