    Sounds like your system is overheating. Is it a laptop or desktop?

    It seems to be a common problem with the Dell XPS M1530. You can try the various solutions you find in that forum.

    Also it is important that the ait slits are free of dust, and that they are not blocked as you use your laptop. If they face downward make sure your laptop sits on a hard surface.

    You might be able to mitigate the problem by reducing the graphics quality level in the game.
