Laptop reboots automatically.... ?

So, my laptop is old, somewhat 8-10 years.  Whenever i turn it  on, it runs fine for 10-15 minutes,   After that it  reboots again and again.  I don't know what is the issue with it.  Now again when i leave it for 1/2hr and after that when i start it,  then again it runs for 10-15 minutes and then starts rebooting again and again.... What can be the issue?

    The motherboard could be failing, which means it's time to replace the laptop. Backup your files asap.
