Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I was installing "wine" last night and since I knew it was going to take a while I closed the lid of the laptop and turned it upside down on the floor. (I always turn the laptop upside down when not using it otherwise might overheat)
When I woke up this morning roughly 8 hours after I went to sleep the machine was turned off.
Using the "last -x | grep shutdown | head -1" it stated that it went down at roughly 6 hours from when I went to sleep.
The program I was installing got finished installing but I never set up an auto-shutdown program or anything of the sort.
If this isn't a problem with linux then its a problem with my bios. If its a problem with my bios I will just have to live with it because my bios is locked.

You say "keeps crashing". Has this happened more than one?
You could do a memory check, to make sure that it is working fine, but it looks like it might have something to do with your battery, given that it triggered some event right before shutting down?
The event was not handled, but you should investigate what this event is (it may be that is has switched to battery power for some reason, as things are not being handled correctly?)

The RAM is fine. I already did a scan on that a couple days back.
As for the battery having issues that is very likely considering the power adapter was kinda... hacked together.
The laptop was given to me and the power adapter was in really bad shape AKA broken. So using two wires and a LOT of electric tape I pieced the whole thing back together safely and it worked.
From a viewing perspective the laptop appears to charge perfectly.
Upon further investigation it appears like the power was disconnected during most of the night. (Even though it was plugged in) What was strange though is the battery was 100% charged when I woke up this morning.
The power didn't go out last night because all the clocks were at the correct time.
