I really need help with this. I don't know what is causing this problem. I have a Lenovo G580 with Windows 8.1, a Intel Core I3 3110M CPU, A Nvidia Geforce GT 630M GPU, and 4GB of ram.
 
Solution
This sounds like an overheating issue possibly with your GPU, I would make sure you are playing on a hard surface where the vents aren't covered. If you continue to have issues you could try using some compressed air to clear some of the dust out of the vents.
