my laptop runs pretty smoothly but when i play a video even something off youtube, my computer shuts down. it seems to start to run harder right before it shuts off. been doing this about a week. it worked fine before this. any suggestions???

Over heating? bad drivers? spywhere? virus? Cowbell? also what Internet browser are you using? could be a problem with that. or integrated graphics crapping out
