Hi Choppy,
It sounds like an overheating problem. Get a can of compressed air and blow out the dirt that maybe plugging your fan. Make sure your fan is also operational. If you can send the temp specs of the CPU when it is running.
See if you can download Speedfan off my link if you have no other program that will give you your temp specs.
Thanks,
Bill
