Your problem seems a bit different to me, as my computer also rebooted or shut down while being ingame (seldomly but it did). I finally found a solution to my problem, though. It appeared to me that the power plug for my CPU had a pin that melt down into the plastics casing of the said plug. In...

I sadly don't have a pic of that but as I wanted to get myself a new CPU cooler anyway I got myself a be quiet! cooler with already applied thermal grease and put that on, after cleaning the CPU's heatspreader of course. The PSU is about 6 years old IIRC. I got that mainboard about one or...
