If it doesn't happen while you're in the main menu for 10 minutes, then it might be something overheating.
Is the fan spinning or might it be clogged with dust?

In a rare situation, the connection between the APU (that is the CPU and GPU in 1 package) might have come loose.
When you use if for a while, the APU heats up and disconnects some datalines from the motherboard.
Did you already try to adding washers to the clamp that holds down the APU?


A good repairshop can fix these kinds of issues if the trick with the clamp doesn't work but it might not be cheap.

thanks for the reply..will try adding a few washers to the clamp and see if that works.
