Why does my Dell Inspiron 1500 keep shutting down spontaneously, as if an invisible finger had pushed and held the power switch?

It is on AC power with charged cell. Usually happens when computer is “on line.” Connection to Internet is wireless throught hot spot and Mobile1. Unit cooled by lap fan and also fan blowing on it from above about 2 feet away. Is this possibly a hardware fault, say a power switch overheat activation? Any ideas? Thanks.
