If you are 100% certain the engine is not hot, but it shows hot and powers down, it may be as simple as a bad temperature sending unit. A lot of vehicles are equipped with a "safety" mode....when the temp gauge registers hot, it'll cut the power down to help avoid damage to the engine. This would be a good place to start.
