1. Power off, unplug the system.
2. Remove the base cover and disconnect the battery from the system board.
3. Hold the power button for 30 sec.
4. Reconnect the battery and power on to a setup screen (F2 at powerup). If the system continues to run without issue on battery, then,
5. Boot into Windows and see if that solved the problem. If you still see the power-cut error, it could be a faulty power management driver -- try reinstalling those (or better, a factory reset of the OS).
If the problem continues, it's either a battery issue or a mainboard issue -- the battery is $150 or less while the mainboard will be pushing $1,000 -- if you have to start swapping parts, the battery is the place to start.

@ejn63 do you have a video or resource on how to "Remove the base cover and disconnect the battery from the system board"? I don't feel particularly comfortable ripping my computer apart for fear I might completely damage it.
