Then it most likely is a temperature issue. Try playing with your laptop inclined, preferably with a cooling pad. Also, I'd highly recommend replacing your thermal paste, I play on a laptop too and am always replacing it every once in a while.

Assuming you used the right thermal paste for your laptop, it shouldn't dry out in that little time, so try using a cooling pad and keeping it at an angle

Edit: oh yeah, if you don't already use it, look for tutorials on ThrottleStop so you can undervolt your CPU and limit turbo clocks. This will definitely keep your temps more stable

ThrottleStop is a must for any gaming laptop. If you follow along good tutorials there's nothing to worry about. You'll be using ThrottleStop to undervolt your CPU, not overclock it. So the worse that can happen is your laptop crash because there's not enough power running through (which simply restarting will solve).
