My two guesses are that either your gpu overheats or your power supply unit can't handle the load. You can try FurMark to stresstest your GPU and see how the temperature goes.
Make sure you use your laptop on a table or an other flat surface so that the heat can escape the computer. If you see in furmark that the temperature of your GPU doesn't rise much before your computer turns off, then I asume the power supply unit of your laptop can't handle the energy the GPU is asking; the result is a mini-blackout in your computer where the power supply can't provide enough energy to any component. If that is the case, I would suggest getting a better power supply built in, even tho I am not sure how possible that is in a laptop. A faulty power supply can destroy many components in your computer. If the GPU overheats (it get's hotter than 100 C ), try capping your framerate. First of all turn on vsync. If that is not enough, try turning down every graphical option until the game behaves like you want it to. Don't read my signature!
