Your cpu is reaching a critical temperature cut off point Doll2000
Have a look to see if the heatsink fan on top of the cpu is still working.

If its brand new its possible its still under warranty, please check and use it if it is.

I am with Wolfeymole on this one and it sounding like overheating

It only seems to happen when the pc is under heavy usage
