My computer shuts down while playing PUBG.

Hello, my laptop has shut down several times while I was playing PUBG. One day, it shut down after 2-3 hours of playing all of a sudden, and I could only turn it back on after 5-10 minutes. Now, it shuts down after 45 minutes.
I think it's overheating, so how can I fix that?
Thank you in advance.

    Good evening,

    I think your CPU (Processor) is overheating, so it is not cooled enough.
    I strongly advise you to stop playing PUBG for now.
    (risk of damaging it)

    And first of all, proceed with a thorough cleaning of your computer (dust).
    Change the thermal paste that connects your heatsink and the processor.

    If you don't know how to do it, try to get help from someone around you before going to see a repair person.

    EDIT: I apparently didn't read that it was a laptop, so it's indeed more delicate, but you can at least clean out the dust.

    There are docks for laptops with USB fans, which might help cool your CPU more.
