Its probably caused due to heat, which means that the CPU fan, or maybe the system fan, is busted. Probably the CPU fan.
You'll need to buy a new fan(first check whether thats really the problem) and replace it.

This sounds like a CPU heat issue. Get a Zalman CPU fan and "Arctic Silver" thermal grease. Apply a BB sized droplet of the grease onto the heatsink of the new CPU fan before you install it. Another thing to look at is the power source. Make sure that it is large enough to power all of your stuff.

It sounds like it over heating. or the CPU fan isnt working.Take the side off and see if the fan is moving and clean any dust that is inside.
You can get canned air at places like wal -mart in the camera/pc section.Canned air will blow ot any dust thats in htere

I would guess that your CPU is overheating due to a build-up of dirt, dust, dog and cat fur etc. clogging up the cooling fans.

Overheating problem... your computer is lacked of cooling system... or maybe hardware problem such as add-on video card(AGP/PCI) and powersupply... check your FAN...
Enjoy!

pc may be overheating, make sure all your fans are working, another cause may be that your power supply does not have enough power to support your pc configuration
