Automatic Shutdown

Could you please help me solve this problem

I have just installed a new copy of widows sp3 on a dell PC. The installation process went well but i have small problem now. When i leave the PC for a few minutes then it just shuts down automatically and when i restart it again it gives me this message "Alert! Previous shutdown due to thermal event" please can some one explain what the problem could be
