Could be a number of things. If you have a diagnostic CD that came with your PC, now would be the time to use it.
Does it give you any error messages, or freeze at a specific time? |

unplug from the internet, boot up, and take that junk off! It is full of virus' and spyware. then do a virus scan. this will fix it. |

If it actually is temperature related you may have to check the insides to see if all the fans are turning or if the front vents or cpu heatsink are full of dust. |
