I've had some experience with this, however if anyone has real technical knowledge, feel free to talk over me.

One of my laptops has an overheating problem; you might want to invest in a laptop fan. I have a cheap $5 one that works pretty well as long as I don't run my laptop for too long. An ice pack wouldn't hurt either, as long as you can make sure it won't leak. As for the memory problem, I wouldn't really know how to help you there save for getting some new hardware. Although, one of my other laptops once had a similar problem, so I left it alone for 3 months while trying to get the funds to fix it up, then attempted to boot it up for shits and giggles and it was like nothing ever happened.

Like mat, i assume its overheating CPU. if it would be hardware or software problem, i would expect error messages the very least. overheating however just shuts down the computer without second thought. cooling pad is cheap alternative, but there could also be dust inside the laptop obscuring the cooling elements inside.

If it's a laptop, it's kind of normal for them to grow hot over the years as software starts to demand more and more of older hardware. Even with very decent specs a laptop is limited to a very compact fan and this is usually not sufficient, causing the CPU's power to be throttled down and thus the performance to weaken. External laptop fans have never proven to be improve an overheating issue in my experience, they're just not integrated into the design and form factor of a specific laptop model and thus ineffective.

That being said, computers over over 2-3 years old are FULL of dust, they're little vacuum machines. Their thermal paste might also be hardening and thus not transferring heat away from the CPU properly.
I'd recommend bringing it to a computershop for maintenance or a friend with an air compressor (the can variety is too weak to be effective in my opinion and they can cause moisture to be blown into the computer).
For Windows machines it's prudent to reinstall the OS every so many years as well to get rid of all the junk files that have accumulated in the register and slow it down. Do NOT use a register cleaner, most of the defect computers we receive in our shop have either been crippled by malware or the user itself thinking a software can magically boost a low spec laptop to workstation levels.

If the prices of your local computershop are fair, you can expect a maintenance job to be between $60 and $120, depending on what their service package includes.

My computer has had an overheating problem since I got it. Mine is a laptop, and I use an aluminum keyboard tray as a miniature desk and heatsink for it. If it is a desktop I recommend investing in a liquid cooling system if it has trouble. As for the memory, I am not sure if you mean your hard drive or your RAM. If it is the hard drive I would suggest making a back up of all your important data on an external hard drive. If it is RAM, you should probably just get more if you have extra slots for it in your computer. All of this is just personal experience and should not be valued over actual expert Maintainance.

Sounds like CPU overheating. easiest attempt to fix would be to replace the thermal paste on it and also clean out dust.

yeah take it apart and dust it out and try reapplying thermal past to the cpu heatsink and if its a laptop do the same with the gpu heatsink if its an old gaming laptop. If it is a laptop might need to invest into something like this

When this happened to me it turns out that I had a short in my PC (as in the electrical problem). I figured it out one day when I was next to my computer, trying to get it to turn back on then the short happened and my computer turned back on

i'd reccomend taking it apart and cleaning out all the fans, there's probably some dust in there

I think I could help with advices, but I need to know some details. What OS you use? Before power off it show BSOD or kernel panic? Power supply make any sounds during power off and reboot? How old that computer? And it could help if you know models of motherboard and power supply.

Cooling fans are your best bet. Reminds me, I need to invest in one myself, my laptop has occasionally overheated just from long term regular use, and propping it up to allow air access to the underside isn't sufficient anymore. Bearing in mind, my laptop is a fairly new £1500 gaming laptop, so it was bound to happen soon enough.
