Title:

Computer freezes after it slightly warms up

Text:

When my MacBook Pro warms up (above 55°C) it will do random things. First it shows blinking colored lines (green and pink normally show up while watching a movie), then it will ether freeze or the screen goes black. (Once in a while I'll get a gray screen too.)

In my research I have found that turning up the fans will help keep my MBP from heating up which keeps it from freezing, but then I have to listen to the fans all the time. Any suggestions?
