Vista crashes when playing games

Jul 15, 2007 11:33PM PDT

Hi.
I've been having this problem with Vista and games that I cannot play for more than 5 minutes before the system crashes.
I do not get a blue screen , the computer just powers off.

specs:
Intel E6700core duo
Gigabyte P35-DS4 motherboard
Nvidia Geforce 6800GS(pci-express)
4gb OCZ 667mhz RAM(2x2gb sticks)

Is anyone else having this problem ?
I have the latest driver from nvidia for the graphics card and everything else works fine ... its only games.
