Sorry I got a bit confused people were talking about chargers.... so it's the computer that is going on and off and it's running hot.

I had that problem with an expensive HP machine, it overheated after a few hours of playing the "The Sims 2" and would shut itself down. I had to leave it to cool before I use it again. If I didn't it would just run for 15 minutes or so and shutdown again.

I went to the support site in the end and found a BIOS patch that changed how the fans worked and since then it has stopped switching itself off, although it does get very hot but processor never reaches the shut down temperature.
