A Vista Upgrade from XP could cause problems, and even the one you describe, but not an "update" usually. But then again, if when it shuts itself down, if you have to press the power button twice to get it to start back up, I would say that the processor is overheating (in which case the system does this to keep from frying the CPU). If that's the case, a cleaning of the fan and heat sync could fix the problem. You could also run temperature monitoring software (plenty are available for free trials).
As always more detailed information on this issue you are having would help.
Good luck.

while using my toshiba satellite p205d-s7802 laptop it shuts down on its own while being plugged in and on a full battery, the screen goes black but the key board is still with lightsi havent payed attention yet to see if the fan is running or not when it happens due to it happening so unexpectedly and now happening more often, how do i go about cleaning the fan to see if that the problem?
