Hello sugarplum 29,
Unfortunately with a lot of consumer electronics, especially video game consoles, the internal components and heat syncs deteriorate over time. My suggestion to you would be to make sure your console is in a well ventilated location away from anything that could be keeping heat close to it. Also, make sure the room you're playing in isn't become hot from all the heat expulsion from any electronics on, as this may cause the problem. If the problem persists, you may need to seek warranty work or a repair.
Hope this helps!

SOURCE: My playstation 3 keeps shutting down

It can be a number of reasons. Here's what I would do:

Clean the system with compressed air, back up your game saves, perform full system restore.

Let me know if that solves your problem or if you've got more questions.

Playstation 3 turns its self off after 20 minutes

PS 3 is getting heated up. Keep it in a place where there is free flow of air. Make sure that the vents are not covered up. When PS 3 gets heated up, it has built in mechanism which shuts it down. When it cools down it works again.

You have to take your console apart all the way down to the motherboard and flux and reflow the motherboard.

Pc keeps shutting dowen

You might want to check on the heat protection for your machine's CPU. This sounds like the CPU gets to a heat level that triggers internal protection from damage by excessive heat.

Keeps shuting off

If the receiver shuts down after some time operating properly it is likely caused by a heat issue or crossed (shorted) speaker wires. Please make sure that the unit is adequately vented and the air vents/fan on the back of the receiver is clean. If it is then carefully check all of the speaker wires for cracks, damage, and/or crossed wires.
