I was watching this video:

I've got this problem. However, he said there are hundreds of possible reasons this might be happening.
I've got a couple of very specific symptoms I hope can shed some light on what exactly is causing this problem.
1. It happens as I try to boot Windows. I can usually last only for a few minutes in regular windows before it randomly shuts down.
2. I DON'T have this problem in safe mode! I'm in safe mode right now!
3. When it shuts down, the LED light on the front is still on. I have to either unplug the AC cord, or flip the switch to off, and wait about ten seconds for the LED light to power down due to lack of juice before I can turn the power back on again.
4. The problem is getting progressively worse. Previously, the machine would shut off (except for the front LED light) randomly, e.g. when I was sleeping. Now, however, it's gotten so bad that I can't even load all my start-up applications without it shutting off!
5. If I run a Windows Start-up Repair, that appears to extend the amount of time I have in regular (not safe mode) windows by a few minutes. Still not enough time to do anything useful with the machine, though. I can't even so much as launch an app without the machine shutting down again. Also, I'm not blind to the possibility that the Windows Start-Up Repair isn't actually helping me, but rather, it's just coincidence.
Do these three symptoms tell you anything about what the problem might be?
