Mac Switches Off Randomly

Dear Forum,

My MacBook Pro is randomly switching off. could be 1 minute, could be 1 hour. No warning. no apps crash, its just switches off.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014),

2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

16gb

Its been doing in for a few months. so far i have:

Tested with disagnostics, issue raised was 'Hard Drive'.

Had machine tested in Apple Store with no hardware issues,

Reformated, reinstalled Big Sur, no issues in store for an hour.

Came home, issues persist.

Reformated and reinstalled at home. Issues persist

im at a lose. machine is a good nick. i could do without buying a new one for an unspecified problem.

is there a way to see in Console, or other, what i could be doing and why its does this?

Any ideas as im losing the will to live...

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6
