There's been a recall of many laptop batteries due to extreme overheating, some even causing fires. Heat is definitely a reason that CPU's in computers will crash, so I'd check the battery to see if it's the type that is prone to overheating. Apparently it is the Sony batteries, but distributed to many other pc manufacturers, that are being recalled. Read the article at the below link. Good luck.

i agree with answer addict, if its a laptop, the ventelation area might be blocked off, or there is almost no batter power left, and it shuts down.
