It doesn't happen immediately , It maybe takes a little or much minutes .
why this happen ?
my laptop have 1 GB DED VGA , 4 GB RAM and Core i5
It could be any number of things, but as a guess I'd say that either your video chip was overheating or you have a bum video driver. Are you monitoring your temperatures? You might also look into how much RAM you're sharing with the video.

It can monitor your video temperature too, in most cases. That may be a problem on a laptop, though.
As for the video, that would be a BIOS setting. If you have plenty of System RAM you can allocate more of it to the video subsystem - sometimes much more.
From the specs, it looks like you have plenty of built-in video memory. I'd pursue the temperature and driver issues. If this is a brand new laptop and you have good airflow around it it shouldn't be too dirty inside. What video driver are you using?
