This is very common problem, that can have multiple causes.

1. Hardware getting too hot: (eg. graphic card).

In this case it takes a minute or two after game was launched to restart or in more hardware-requiring game places. Computer shuts down when some parts are overheating; this happens very often for CPU and graphics cards and playing games requiring lots of power from these two parts. They can get heated up to 90C even more. The computer detects a critical situation, and to save the hardware it does shutdown.

Recommendations:

a) Clean all of your computer ventilator (CPU, graphics cards). You want to remove as much dust as you can. Buy a

b) If it is still happening and you have recently changed some parts of computer it might be a second reason. Contact a computer repair company.

2. Your PSU (Power Supply Unit) is too weak. If you have changed some parts of the computer this might be the case. During game-play, game CPU and the graphics card draw large amounts of power. If it is insufficient, the computer restarts.

3. You have a problem with some of your drivers, usually a video driver. Update your video drivers to the latest compatible version. If that does not work, uninstall your video drivers and reinstall the latest versions.

4. Loose wire in case.

It may be that a fan wire or other wire has disconnected or gotten loose in your case. This may cause restarts, particularly when there is a large power drain.
