Sounds like something is overheating to me, check the fans. Most modern PCs have a temperature sensor that can be seen from the BIOS.
Other thing it could be is a rogue process. When you next start your PC press CTRL-ALT-DEL and click on Task Manager, then the Processes tab within the newly opened window. Is anything using a large percentage of the CPU or a large amount of Memory? You can click on the column headings to make it easier to check. For example, MusicMatch Jukebox used to hog all my computer's resources until it just grinded to a halt.

It is possible that you have some sort of virus, spy-ware etc. or it could be your computer is overheating.
If I was you I would run and virus check, then if nothing is found then open your computer tower box up and clean out dust and see if the fan works when the computer is turned on.
