I've played skyrim before,at that time i had nvidia gefore 220 and skyrim ran on medium settings without any lag.I replaced my gpu with Radeon HD 6670 DDR 5 this year. I installed the game again and now whenever i play it , my pc shuts down after 15-20 mins sometimes more.
I can play battlefield 3 on medium/high for more than 5 hours(My CPU is not overheating I checked the temperature). Please Help.

CPU: AMD FX-4100 Quad Core 3.6 Ghz
MB: Asus m5a78l-m lx v2
GPU: ATi Radeon HD 6670 DDR 5
PSU: 450 w
RAM: 4GB

It could be insufficient psu or your card is overheating. Check all drivers to make sure they are updated. Monitor all your temps, CPU and gpu in real time while playing sky rim. Then report back.

Play SKYRIM and monitor your temps before ur pc crashes.
I personally think you have a week PSU. Is it certified?
