Hi memmons111,
It is possible this unit is Overheating, causing the crash. Laptops are not like Towers in that towers have alot of fans to keep them cool. A laptop usually has only one fan, This results in poor cooling. Check the vents on this laptop and see if they are plugged. If they are use a can of compressed air to blow them out. I would also reccomend a quality cooling pad if you intend to run this laptop constantly.
Hope this helps.
