Maybe you are overheating somewhere?
Try taking the cover off and play the same game...does it last longer before crashing? If so, there's your problem. Make sure that all your fans are working properly i.e your power supply fan, your processor fan and if applicaiable, your graphics card fan.
At a long shot, if everything above turns out fine, look to your power consumption. What is your power supply wattage output?
