Computer Shutting down whenever I turn on Ubuntu

in flag

Ubuntu 20.04 is randomly shutting down within 1-5 minutes after I turn it on. It gives no warning messages. It is not a proper shutdown it just turns off. I turn it on again and again and it keeps shutting down in the same way.

The problem happens whenever I try to start Ubuntu. I thought it was a hardware problem, but when I dual boot Windows on the same computer it works fine. I can keep Windows on for more than a hour. It works fine until I shut it down.

EDIT -1

I look up on the previous boot's log. I literally understand nothing! Can anybody tell me what was the reason?

This is previous boot's log.

Depending on how it’s shutting down, there should be a reason for the issue recorded in `/var/log/syslog`

`sudo journalctl -b -1 -e` will show the end of the previous boot's logs.

I had uploaded previous boot's log. I don't understand anything. Can you look up and tell me what was the reason?

Try booting Ubuntu while the laptop is plugged in and revert back. seems like a proper related to power

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
