The very first thing to check is the vents. Do a thorough cleaning of the interior. Next, while you have the cover off run it and pay attention to the fan. Is it running smoothly or sound labored. It should also kick into a higher speed when it heats up. While you are doing then you can then check your lamp hours as previously suggested. Low lamp hours remaining will cause this to shut down as described.
it is possible that there is a lamp failure or it keeps overheating and automatically shutting down.
Thanks
