Without much more information it's hard to even suggest anything except maybe a Heat Issue.

If the CPU is overheating the Unit can shut down to prevent further damage so check that the fans are working that there is nothing blocking the Air Intakes for the Fans and so on. Also if you have a Testing Utility that displays Fan Speeds and Temps run that and see what is happening there. If the Temp is going up or the Fans are not running properly it is most likely a Heat Issue that needs to be fixed before you proceed any further.
