it boots up perfectly. after 5-10 mins of game play or leaving it on. It auto shuts down and I would have to power off then on and it runs perfect then again 5-10 mins.. it would shutdown over n over.

what s causing? this known issue for arcade general? Power supply overheats or ?

If the filter board is still in the machine between the wiring harness and the main logic board then remove it.
 
Wait for it to shut off, leave the power switch on, then get out the freeze spray and start spraying around the large power caps on the game board. When you hit the part/joint that is failing due to heat, the game will kick back on.

If that doesn't do it, unplug the game and remove the fuses in the block down at the iso transformer. Polish the fuses and holders with steel wool or scotch brite, then power it back up.

Even if the freeze spray works, do the fuse thing after you fix the board.
 
check the edge connector and the 4 fuses (not the three fuses) for heat. If there is excess heat at either of these locations then you have bad fuse holders and/or a bad edge connector.
