your overheating most likely. Get CPUz HWmonitor, let it run in the background when your playing the game, when you feel that your getting close to that part in the game where it shuts down, turn off the game, and look at the temps you generated. it will show you the Hottest temp that it got to.

Hey,

The PSU is manufactured by Sparkle (its a taiwan based company)
The CPU is E6750 Core 2 duo 2.66 Mhz 1333 FSB

Btw, the system is behaving in a similar fashion for COD:MW2 the latest COD series. The system restarts the moment I'm about to get in the humvee. Its really annoying, please help...I'm thinking of giving up PC gaming because of this ongoing frustration. :(

Last tempertaures recorded were :

CPU : 45-49 C
PSU: 59 C
