Hi Jamieman

As Yard Dog already said, could be a problem of overheating.
Check whether the ventilation openings are free of dust or other obstacles (Also check the inside of the computer if possible).
Maybe you can give us some more information about your system :
How old is your computer ?
Specifications of your computer (go here to download app).
What games do you play ? (Graphics-intensive games can make the CPU very hot)
Download OpenHardwareMonitor to measure the temperature of your computer.
Keep us informed.

Sweet
