Random shutdown

What might cause my Dell Inspiron 600m to flash to a blue screen (of death) for a split second then turn off? I'm guessing because it gets like overheated from playing games or something, but it's happened like 4 or 5 times recently and never before that so I'm just wondering if there's some obvious reason for it.
