Do you close the screen when you move? By default, that will put the computer into standby.
You can change that by going into: Battery Settings -> Change plan settings -> Change advanced power settings
Then look for "Power buttons and lid", and you can set it to do nothing when you close it.

If it's just shutting off without any warning (Immediate black screen) Check that your battery/power cable are plugged in nice and tight. Could even be a short in the cable. I've had this happen with some laptops.
