Have you tried the basics?
- ensure the main battery actually holds charge, or keep it plugged into an AC power source
- clean/blowout any dust which may have accumulated, especially around keyboard and exhaust ports
- reseat all the DIMMs, drives, and other user-accessible cables/connectors which might be loose and wiggly
- update your BIOS
- replace the motherboard CR2032 battery
- if system is stable enough - run diagnostic software/tests, to identify if some critical component is failing
Any chance the unit suffered a drop, crush, or spill?
