There could be a number of different reasons that lead to this problem.
One is overheating.
Another is bad ram
Another is bad sector in Harddrive
Another is faulty/insufficient power supply
Another is insufficient graphics memory to run the game
Another is corruption of gamefiles or a bad instal.
Another is failure to cleanup temp files and defrag the drive.

To narrow down the possibilities you need to tell us the full specifications of your system including CPU/ram/graphics and what size powersupply. What game is it that's crashing?
Have you looked in event log to see if there is any error message recorded that will isolate the problem
Do you have any temperature monitoring program? If not you might be able to look at temperature in BIOS.
Did the game ever run properly or is it newly installed?

Too many possibilities, too little information.
