MacBook Air keeps shutting off

My MacBook Air keeps turning off after about 10 seconds of showing the login screen it’s doesn’t slowly **** down the screen just goes black. I’ve tried just about everything there is but I can’t get into safe mode because the computer shuts off before I can. I replaced the battery so it’s not the battery I’m really at a loss here is there anything else I’m able to do to figure out why my computer keeps doing this

Re: MacBook Air keeps shutting off


Wondering which MacBook Air Model (Year) you have.

Eg: How to: Identify your MacBook Air model – Apple Support

and

What you were mostly using the Mac for, when you first encountered this issue:

Eg: update / restore / using memory intensive software / adding heaps of data ?
