I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 (used to run Ubuntu 19.10) on some an HP laptop[RAM-4 GB, Intel Core i3-4005U CPU @ 1.70GHz x 4, 1TB HDD, AMD Hainan/Intel HD Graphics 440 (HSW GT2)]. I have turned off all the automatic shut-down or suspend option, but it's still shutting down suddenly without even giving a warning. If I'm leaving the laptop unused for just a few minutes then this is happening, it also occurred while working as well! So. I'm a little worried about it.

I have really no clue why it's like this, so it would be really helpful if someone helps me, I tried to contact few servers regarding this but not get any answer honestly.

Is there somewhere I can do to fix this?

I think I have found the solution. The problem was related to graphics. After setting nomodeset quiet splash from quiet splash it started working fine.

How to set 'nomodeset'?

I have had the same issue within hours of installing 20.04, while the "nomodeset" did seem to temporarily solve the issue. The real problem turnout to be a power supply fault. With the new power supply, have changed grub back to "quiet slpash" random power offs have stopped. (I was also experiencing no display on wake from from suspend after applying the nomodeset fix, this was also resolve with the new power supply.)
