I would suspect the GPU first. Can you try installing it in another computer? If it does the same you know it's that and not the motherboard.
How long are you gaming when it shuts down? Can you monitor the temps while gaming so you can see what the temp is when it shuts down? I'm just thinking it may have developed heat dispersion issues somehow over the last few months.
