Sounds like a possible CPU overheating issue. Would check to make sure that the CPU heatsink is on tight and correctly/CPU heatsink fan plugged into the motherboard and if the CPU and/or the heatsink are from another system that the old thermal compound was cleaned off the CPU face and the mating surface of the heatsink. And then a fresh thin layer of thermal compound applied to the face of the CPU.
