Just out of couriousity, have you check your power and sleep settings?? I know for mine, if on battery it turns off after 5 mins of inactivity and sleep after 15. Also what is your power plan?

It sounds like you are playing on battery and it shuts down? After how long?
You do realize that on battery, you would probably have 30-60mins of playtime before the battery gives out right? These machines are really not meant to game on battery. Portability sure, but gaming on battery isnt their primary goal. The simple fact is to run these games you need to push a 100watt graphics card, and thats just very hard to do on a battery that isn't humongous. This is why almost all high end gaming laptops last around 45-60mins in games in battery, its simply too much juice needed to pull from a battery of this size.
Game with AC power in and you wont have this issue.

The battery is not being charged when you are plugged in and the battery is charged above 95%. You can have it plugged in 24/7 without any issues. I have my G751JY for one and half year already and my battery wear level is just 7-8%.
Anyway, similar thing hapens to me as well when plugged in, but my problem is related to just some random high wattage spikes while my GPU is overclocked. It happens like once per 3 months or so, so I don't really care that much about it.
In my opinion, your shutdown issue will be similar, especially when you are on battery. It just requires more power than your battery can give to the laptop at certain loads. Anyway, you can open your Event Viewer > Windows logs > System - and find the critical error which caused the shutdown. The reason why your PC did shutdown should be written there.

As Boxis points out, the power delivery system (consumption) on just battery only is the culprit. The reason being is the system has to be able to feed power to everything (CPU, GPU, MB, SSD/HDD, display, peripherals -USB powered devices- fans, lights, etc) in addition with increased loads you're forcing it to do. So by using battery only for gaming like you're doing, power draw for everything else becomes power limited/managed and balanced by the system as usage increases/decreases. This in turn affects stability with the distributed power delivery system under user-controlled usage, eventually causing power protection to occur due to one system load having more priority over another as parameters keep switching current critical paths causing voltage drops. This is what causes your notebook to shutdown when gaming on battery after a short duration!
This is similar as never running a long distance in your life and deciding one day to run as fast and as hard as you can (without conditioning for it) a distance made for iron man run. You might just black out or give yourself a heart attack. Similarly, you can't expect something to work (not as it's intended use) for something you feel it should be able to do. Your battery is most likely huffing out of breath due to all the stress (joke) now. This would explain why it's gradually getting worse and more common occurrence with your system shutdowns on battery only!
Keep your AC adapter plugged in when you're playing! The batteries in gaming notebooks should be viewed (not identical) as UPS (uninterruptible power supply) backups! In the event you lose power, you have a means of backing anything up OR for ease of portability, from one wall outlet to another.
