All of the sudden, the screen turns off and the computer shuts off completely, usually within 5-15 minutes of use. I formatted the Mac partition, and reinstalled MacOS, and the problem still persists. However, using the Windows partition, I dont have any issues. Any idea of whats going on? I'm in a remote Pacific island so it would be dumb for me to send it somewhere if its a simple fix.
 
Run apple diagnostic and see if there are some sensors error. ( temp, fan speed, or something else)...
 
These are the MBP’s affected by the random shutdown issue:

Any model with a 820-3662 Logic Board
Any model with a 820-3787 Logic Board
Macbook Pro 15″ 2013
Macbook Pro 15″ 2014
Macbook Pro 15″ 2015
Macbook Pro 13″ 2013
Macbook Pro 13″ 2014
Macbook Pro 13″ 2015

If you don’t have one of the above two logic boards in one of the 6 MBP's, and you have shutdowns, then you should do the other things(like the PRAM, the scd, replacing your SSD, etc) or you really have a broken logic board.

The NoCrashMBP Python script needs to run all the time, so you have to put it into your Login Folder(in the System Preferences/Users).

It really does work. If you should restart your MBP and not have it in the Login file you could forget and have it not work, and then wonder why you have shutdowns.
