Why Does My Chromebook Keep Shutting Off. One of the biggest issues is. Scroll down and under the Device section click Power.

Now it shuts off all the time. If this is not sensed for some reason it stays off and if you press the power. If necessary press power button again to turn on the laptop.
First use an external andor on-screen keyboard to see if it is pressing shift that is causing the shut down or if its the keyboard button itself.
To change the default behavior of Chrome OS when you close the lid click the clock area to open the system tray and then click on the Settings cog. The computer turns off and then turns on again. At the bottom click Advanced. I didnt get it looked at because it said it was doing updates so I thought that was why.
