Sounds like your CPU maybe overheating. Try cleaning the dust off the
heatsink and fan on the CPU.

Can of air, to blow the dust off
Vacuum, to suck the dust that the can of air blows off the fan and heatsink
Tooth brush, to brush off the fan and heat sink
Face mask, to cover your nose and mouth so you don't end up inhaling the
dust

That's fine.

But that's not fine at all. In fact, it's extremely dangerous. You
should *never* vacuum the inside of a computer. Doing so can cause
static electricity discharges than can fry any of many components
inside the box.
