gas goes out after 5 mins

i have bought a house and when i lit the pilot it stayed on so i figured the thermocouple was good so i continued to light the fireplace. i ran it on high to help heat the main floor on an especially chilly day but after 5 mins of being on the whole system shut off. it seemed to sputter out. i have decided to try to just have the pilot on and see if it too shuts off . i will post more once it becomes available.
