The first thing to do is to check to c why this is happening. It could be because of heat, errors, or just windows update. I would keep a eye on the computer to see what happens. Not to mention, make sure to kee it away from hot areas. Other then that if none of those are the actual reason, it could just be a nasty malware (in that case run a scan for some viruses). If it still proceeds, I still have reason to believe that it could only be malware, and would recommend a clean reinstall of the operating system. It may seem time consuming but reinstalling the Operating System it self may relieve most of the causes such as errors or viruses (Great way to handle computer issues when time gets tough and nothing else seems to work).
