Check the heatsink is attached properly - if it's an aftermarket heatsink, did you apply thermal paste? I've made that mistake before.

I'd point at the CPU cooler too. Shut downs are usually a sign of overheating.

Grab the heatsink and wiggle it around a bit. I've had a few come loose after a while.
