Try looking inside and seeing if there's a dust build up in the fans (and check that they're all spinning). They'll probably want a clean.
ok sammorris thanks.i will try that too because my son said that also that it might be overheating my CPU may be getting hot he said something about putting some more grease between cpu and fan.i just put that fan a few months ago.thanks a lot for your help to everyone out there.

Also when you are REPLACING, not adding more grease between the CPU HSF. Be sure to get Arctic Silver 5 and when replacing it remember less is more in this case. Don't over do the grease you only need about the size of a bb.
