Computer randomly shuts down during Bitlocker prompt?

The cause of the random shutdown is due to some sort of conflict when the disk is formatted as GPT, hence booting through UEFI. Use MBR instead and it should solve the problem.

Here is what worked for me, I disabled windows' "shutdown at boot feature". In a command prompt window (admin):
