[Solved] System Restarts During Crysis 2

Hi guys, here's my system:

*i5-2500K
*Xigmatek Loki
*ASUS P8Z68-V Pro
*MSI Twin Frozr II 6950
*G.Skill Ripjaw 16GB
*Crucial M4 128GB
*3x2TB Seagate RAID5
*Corsair HX650
*Zalman Z9 Mid-Tower
EDIT:*Windows 7 x64

I've had Crysis 2 for about a week now and everything has been running fine (it's installed on the M4 if that matters). I play on ultra settings at 1600x900 resolution. Today, though, while I was playing the whole system restarted out of nowhere. I figured it was just a fluke but then a couple hours later the same thing happened again. I watch my temps and everything seems fine - GPU stays around 60-65 and CPU around 35-40.

Any ideas or any other information that I need to give?

BSOD Error Code ?

Event Viewer Messages ?

There is no BSOD - it just restarts. I go right from in-game to off without any warning and then the system starts itself back up.

I'm not that familiar with the Event Viewer but here are the errors that I found in chronological order. I looked for things at 11:16:55 AM and 2:44:20 PM because those seem to be the times of the shutdowns, but there isn't anything at all in the log (not even warnings or informational entries) at those times or close before them.

@Raiddin MSCONFIG didn't crash anything and I didn't find anything suspicious in the startup tab. However, "Automatically Restart" was checked and I unchecked it. I will play for a while and see if I get a crash.

Read the error messages when this happens and write what they say.

The BCCode is particularly helpful, though anything you can get is nice. File names are especially good too.
