Could it be a heat problem - time before shutdown given by varying workload?
Check / clean air in-/outlets and fan(s) for dust and verfy that fan(s) are
spinning as required if you have a suspicion that heat is the cause. Pay
special attention to the power supply fan (if so equipped). It could as well
be a power supply problem as such. Note temperatures in case your PC is
equipped to record them.
