Probably getting too hot. When your computer heats up to a certain point it shuts down so literally the solder doesn't melt off the board. I'm not sure of the best way to monitor CPU temp ( A quick Google search will help you or some nice chap who has this info). What are the specs on your system and what games are you running when it shuts down?
