It could be a heat issue, especially if running a window fan on the system helped the issue.
First off, check the processor fan and the Power supply fan. Are both of those working? Also, what type of processor do you have? If those fans are working, feel to see how much heat is coming out of the back of your power supply. If it's pretty warm, you may have an issue there, and a replacement may be in order.
Could you post some specs on your system? Mainly, CPU, power supply wattage, and what type of motherboard. Maybe what CPU cooler you're using would help, too.
