I've had a bad fan on a video card cause the same thing. (on a tower)
or something you changed in the mod, like restricted airflow.
It might also be caused by the Power management in the Bios not doing it's job.
Have you tried a Bios update? (last resort)
We've had users that disabled the power management in the bios and had their laptop heat up.
We've also had others that ran both the Bios power management And all the software power management, built into Ultimate Edition, and had the 2 fighting for control. This made for an unstable & quirky system.
Since you modded your case, I would look to the hardware first and recheck everything, before I looked elsewhere.
