Hi vz290,

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

If your MacBook Air is beeping and shutting down unexpectedly, the information in this article can help you identify the reason for the beeps:

If your Mac is not starting up normally, the steps in this article may help as well:

All the best,

Hi jeremy_v

the problem is not at startup, the laptop turns off at random times, while the computer is asleep or while it is waking up from sleep or while is it completely awake, followed by the beeping sounds. Once I manually turn it back on, the beeping stops.

Thank You,

The beeping sounds you hear would still apply to the the link that jeremy gave,unless it is none of them. In which case you need to describe the amount and sequence of the beeps. Short long how many.
