Can someone offer me some help as to why my macbook pro shuts off completely anytime I play video (like on youtube or cnn, etc.)

basically what happens is, say i go to youtube and click on a video. about a minute into it, my fan (or something) will start to whir real loud, then the computer gets hot, then my laptop just shuts off.

This also sometimes happens if i'm working on something complicated in photoshop.

any help is appreciated, thank you===
