Check if it's geting to hot. It surely have some overheat protection that shut it off when it gets to hot.

Normaly, on a real computer, you need to remove dust from the heat sink and fan periodicaly. I suspect that your game console have that exact same problem.

You should have asked in Toys, Games Consoles
