Being that it happens only during games it could be a heat buildup, possibly your bios has heat shut-off temp, games really work your system.
Also could be a driver issue, check out video card mfg site for updated drivers, also what version of direct x , update that software, and dont forget to upgrade sound drivers, they can really mess system up also.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to check that your fans and housings are clean BUT remember to unplug computer before doing that and be careful when working inside case, if not sure find a tech.

Open your case and take a look at your heat sink, it may be full of crud. If this is so you buy a can of compressed gas at your local computer store, or wal mart, and blow the dirt off. If the fins on the heat sink arent cleaned from time to time you will have overheating issues causing shut downs at high loads...

Sounds to me like the CPU thermal protection is kicking in!
In other words your computer is Over Heating!!! Open up the case and clean out all the dust & dirt with compressed CO2 in a can...you can get it just about anywhere like Walmart...Don't use a vacuum cleaner!!! It can cause bad damage to the chips via static charges...

It could happen because, 1. You don't have enough memory to run the application, or 2. You have a virus. Check for viruses, and remove, if that does not help see minimum requirements for the game you are running, and upgrade accordingly.

Check the fan on the processor and power supplies to be sure they are working.

Check the fans on your CPU, graphics card, & case.
Check that you have enough space for cooling.
