Maybe your computer is actually overheating make sure the location of the

to see if the fans are still working and vacuum clean the inside!

If that fails you might have to check the bios settings..
start your computer and during the black startup screen there are instructions
on how to enter the bios (probable the DEL button or a function key)
Enter bios setting and adjust the temperature levels that trigger the power down of the machine..

Go with the first option first because your machine could be overheating and
this happened quite frequently with me: early warning signs your machine is about to die.
