MacBook Air wouldn't go to sleep if I closed the lid or if I tried to make it sleep manually

my Mac Book Air (13-inch, 2015). It began yesterday when I realized that

it wouldn't go to sleep if I closed the lid or if I tried to make it

sleep manually. Today it escalated to blacking out randomly for 3-4

seconds before going back to normal. This happened continuously before

it shut down by itself. I did an SMC reset (Shift+Control+Option keys

and the Power button at the same time) and it still not working. sometimes it freezes and no movement of mouse.

If possible, I suggest running EtreCheck and posting resultant report here to see if we can assist you with finding the culprit(s) that is causing these issues.

If your Mac is not "stable enough" to run the report, I suggest try booting it up in Safe Mode.
