As well as updating drivers it may be worth checking that both the CPU and GPU are not overheating - although 5 mins is a bit quick to overheat.
My sons PC with NVidia card kept crashing, updated the drivers but still a problem. Opened the case and the CPU cooling fins were blocked with fluff as were the GPU cooling fins. A quick blast with an air duster and problem solved. We also found that the GPU cooling fan settings were wrong - the fan would only run at low speed - changed that and according to the temp monitor all temps are well within specs.
