Does it just restart, turn off first, or does it blue screen before restarting?

A random restart without a blue screen is a sign of a failing-under-load power supply.

R click on the shutdown button and check if the shutdown default is 'restart'. If so, change it to shutdown.

Use your mobo UEFI software to tell us what cpu temp you have.

Assume we don't live with you and that we have no further info then what you give us.. Now please tell us:-

Does it only happen with Skyrim?

When did it start happening, i.e did Skyrim used to play OK but then recently start shutting your PC down?

You can't run Skyrim for 10 minutes, but what about 9 minutes or 5 minutes etc?

When was the last time you cleaned the inside of your case? Dust and dirt build up inside the case, fans and graphics card can cause almost instant overheating and shut down under heavy loads.

Can you play other games? If yes which ones?

Has you computer EVER restarted by itself at all in the past when you were not playing Skyrim?
