Sounds like the CPU is overheating since you mentioned it tends to happen when you are multi-tasking. How does the inside of the tower look? I would take out the heatsink/fan and clean out all the crap if there's a nice layer dust on it. I'd also reapply thermal paste on the IHS. I would do this first before doing a complete system restore.
