If the laptop shuts down when you're in the BIOS, no Windows hotfix will
help. The BIOS setup runs independently of Windows. You have a
hardware, possibly an overheating problem. But since you mentioned a
suggestion for an external monitor, you might check if the graphics card
is loose.. I don't know if it's easily accessible though.. if not, you
need to take the machine to a local repair shop.
