It sounds as if it may be overheating. A heatsink has probably marginally separated from a chip. Most likely the CPU. If you are comfortable cracking it open, do so and remove the existing thermalpaste and apply new thermalpaste to the cpu. If you are not laptop repair friendly, it is probably a lost cause as many people kill their laptops if they are a novice at best computer repair wannabe.
