2014 retina mac pro keeps shutting down for no reason

My 2014 macbook pro 13inch which has Yosemite installed suddenly gives the option to shutdown restart or sleep but before I can click cancel it shuts down. Happens around 1 minute after boot up. Please help!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Try Safe Boot:

- Shut down your Mac

- Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the Power button

- Right after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key

- Release the Shift key when you see a grey Apple sign and the progress bar below this sign

- After your Mac boots up, restart it as you usually do.

If this doesn't help, follow the instructions below:

- Shut down your Mac

- Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the Power button

- Right after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key

- Release the Shift key when you see a grey Apple sign and the progress bar below this sign

- Once you see Desktop, start a Disk Utility scan to detect and repair file system errors (don't forget to choose your main hard drive)

- Click on Verify Disk and then, if asked to fix problems, on Repair Disk

- After this, click on Verify Disk Permissions and then on Repair Disk Permissions

- After the process is finished, shut down your Mac and turn it back on after about 30 seconds

Apart from that, take a look at this Apple article and follow the instructions on Resetting NVRAM shown there:How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

Well turns out the top board is broken and so is the motherboard. I can't find the receipt of purchase since I bought it from a best buy store and the warranty period starts 6 months before i got it and is therefore expired. They are asking for $800 to fix it for which i csn buy a better and more reliable windows laptop which is better than this **** apple
