Sounds like your CPU is getting too hot.

Clean out your PC and make sure you get the dust out of all the heatsinks.

Your processor is getting too hot.

Ensure the PC is free of built-up dust (which you say you’ve done), make sure all your fans are working correctly and ensure there is nothing blocking the air-flow into the case.

If all of the above is fine, I’m guessing you’re just in a hot environment, in which case I’d look into getting an after-market cooler for your CPU.

Remove your CPU’s heatsink and fan, then clean the top of your CPU with a cotton swab after that add a bit of thermal paste and reinstall the heatsink and fan.
