    hmm this could because of the overheating mate :( try monitor your Temps using HWMonitor or any other temp monitor for that matter ...

    also give a dell call about this issue and tell them its getting very hot and switch off abruptly , i am sure they will change your Heatsink but in my case they changed the MB , GPU and Heatsink

    You need to monitor temps to see if it is shutting down because of a thermal issue, or something else. Are you sure your undervolt is stable?
