That issue is usually hardware. There's not enough detail here to call out what it could be. And even with all the details I might have to write either a clean install of the OS or replace the motherboard. KEEP IN MIND THIS: In spite of this I will share what I would try next.

  1. Perform the usual canned air cleaning routine. Canned air, what is and how to use is on many web pages today.
  2. Be sure the laptop's fans are working like new.
  3. After 1 and 2, try a fresh install of the OS or running a Live OS from some USB stick as a test.

Do your power settings have sleep or hibernate mode enabled?
