Remove the battery and use the laptop with the adaptor plugged in to check if it still shuts down after one hour. Do a similar test with the fully charged battery installed and the adaptor NOT plugged in. If no problem with both tests there may be a problem with the charging circuit or possibly the battery.

Shutdown computer don't open again then 2/4 hours computer start then open.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but sounds like it could be a laptop getting too hot. Because the space inside them is so small, laptops overheat and shut down to protect themselves from damage. They will not switch on again for a while, until they have cooled down enough. One solution is you can buy a small stand to put the laptop on, which has a fan powered by USB. Try to keep the laptop cool and make sure the fans are not blocked by anything.

I attempted to shut the computer down via the startup menu but closed the laptop prior to it shutting down. When I reopened and turned on it asked for password to log into windows but the hour glass...

Try pressing and holding the power button until the computer shuts down.
Also note that when removing the battery, you also need to unplug the power cord in order to shut down the computer in that manner.

Laptop keeps shutting off by itself

When you encounter about this issue this is overheating problem maybe the CPU fan is not spinning and faulty already, you need to check the CPU fan and replace a new one.

Computers may not be smarter than people, but if they’re designed properly, they will shut themselves down before overheating to the extent that they do themselves damage. If the smart person keeps turning the notebook back on and figures out a way to foil the protection, the laptop is probably doomed.

Once a laptop shuts down for thermal event protection, it may refuse to power back up for a fixed period of time, five or ten minutes, or it may begin to boot and shut down immediately as soon as it boots to the point that it can figure out that its too hot.

The over-temperature protection is generally a BIOS rather than an operating system function, so one sign of an overheated laptop is one that shuts itself down while you’re using it and then refuses to boot as far as the operating system unless you leave it alone for an hour or so to cool down.

Unless you’ve been working in a very unfriendly environment, high temperatures, direct sunlight, etc, you should take even a single overheating shutdown as a warning to back up your data at the first opportunity and to give the cooling system a serious cleaning.

Installed new larger hard drive now crashing after an hour use

When you say "shuts down" do you get a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) or does it just shut down without an error message? It definitely sounds like overheating. Try using a laptop cooler, something like this: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/antec_notebook_cooler.php (I'm not saying you should buy that model necessarily, there are many such coolers). They can make a huge difference.
