Two things come immediately to mind, 1. what are your temps like? run hwmonitor or something like it and exit the game before it shuts down, and ensure that your cpu isn't overheating, or 2.I suspect the powersupply might be faulty, I'm not familiar with that brand, but most 700watt power supplies cost more than $40, you might need to invest in a higher quality power supply.

Download "core temp". You need to narrow it down a bit. Lets start with CPU temps, if temp get too hot... eventually the system will just power off (like holding the power button, not Windows shut-down procedure).

What is your CPU cooler?
