Likely overheating. You can use a tool like HWinFO64 (www.hwinfo.com) to 
see the current temperature.

In case you are building on Windows10: Go into Windows Settings. Search 
for "Edit power plan". Open "Change advanced power settings". Open the 
branch "Processor power management". And then branch "Maximum processor 
state". Reduce it to e.g. 90%. That might work to reduce clock speed 
earlier. You can also try to change the "System cooling policy".

You can use a fan in the room to increase the air movement. You can 
build in the night and open the window.

For building you can try to do it in portions. You can try to first 
build only the externals. Then let your PC cool down and then build 
again. Build with parameter build-nocheck and use 'make check' later.

Likely others have further ideas. But you need to be patient. Many 
developers are currently traveling to FOSDEM.

Do not give up.

Kind regards
Regina
