Seems like your having power issues.

First of all what wattage power supply are you using? maybe its to low to support that game and your computer shuts down to prevent damage to the system. I assume that game uses lots of graphics and (i didn't check) I'm guessing your graphx card is plugged into your power supply.

Seems like every time you go to run that program your graphx card kicks in and uses more wattage that your able to support, and thats why it shuts off?

It would be helpful for more info.
