could be that the graphics card is overheating, so perhaps check if you can clear some dust from it and make sure air is flowing nicely.

Do you play any other games? If so does this happen in them too? Try checking the temperature of your CPU and GPU after running a stress test for a while or when playing a game.

i play counter strike sometimes and i usually play HL2 and Fan maps of portal and i can play them without that problem that i have.

i Ran a stress test that i had on my counter strike options and the results was 46 FPS and i have the graphs at maximun

I will see if i can clean my pc.

oh and thanks for moving the post, sorry for the mistake xD
there is another problem now when i reboot my pc cos of the problem. I cant turn it on for a while.

The last time this happened i had to wait an hour to be able to turn my pc on.

Anyone knows why is this happening now?

Sounds like a problem with your PC rather than the game. When you say you can't turn it on, does it even power up at all? Does it give a beep code? Does it post or just refuse to display anything?
