On my phone typing this so bare with me. Sounds like your CPU is overheating check to see if the cooler on te CPU is attached correctly and add some new thermal paste on the CPU make sure you clean the old paste and add a dab on the CPU. Re insert fan and installed correctly and do a stress test. Watch the CPU temp. Try this first. I had this happen to me before. Il add links if you need it.
You should get a SSD and run windows/ some games on it. Improved FPS and hell lot faster load times.
128GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s (SATA III)
keep the HDD for other things Apps.
(Don't forget if you get a SSD, Make sure your AHCI mode is turned on in the bios.)
Everything else is good!
