Whenever I start my laptop, if I don't close it at the Windows 8 boot logo, it would shut off. The charger light would show green but turn orange quickly then shut off. Sometimes when I get it to boot, I can't do much because it would shut down fast. I keep it in the charger whenever it is booted but it loses charge instead of gaining charge. I tried to take the battery out (while it was on) but it instantly shut down. Can anyone help me?

Turns out, it was the outlet itself.
It sounds like you need to replace your battery. If a laptop is left plugged in too much and doesn't have a smart charger it will get overcharged which in turn will lead to reduced battery lifespan. As a troubleshooting step, try taking your battery out and turning on your computer with just the charger plugged in. This should work fine as long as the battery was the problem.

Actually it sounds to me like OP has a 3rd party charger without enough watts.– TysonApr 27, 2016 at 1:57
