computer problems

[archnemesis]

i bought warhammer dow 2 and my computer is top of the line, more then compatable with the game, and for some reason after about 10-30min into a game not only does the game shut down but so does my whole computer, that also happens to happen to me when i play nwn2 now i know my computer isnt too advanced for those games cause i can play sins which the system requirements is lower then that of warhammer. so what could be the problem? and more then that why does it not just shut down my game, but instead it shuts off my whole computer, never had that happen to me till i bought this computer. this computer is about 5 months old and its a labtop. now the warhammer game says it needs 3.2 GHz and i only have 2.50 but it says or any dual core processor and i have a Duo so it should work right?The only thing is that for warhammer dow 2 it has shut itself off now 4 times and nvn2 i couldnt tell u how many times it shuts off for that game when a movie clip comes up, and the funny thing about nvn2 is cause its the same movie clip that it always shuts off too, i got past it one time so far and thats bacause i paused and unpaused it countless times but now it shuts down at a different movie clip so i gave up on that game a long time ago. dow2 tho i really wanna play so im def looking for a solution, and i play every game out there and never have the problem it just seems like those 2 games. there is no error message and no blue screen when this happens, it goes straight from the game to a black screen (shut off) so idk. here is what my computer got and is capable of.

model: xps M1530

processor: intel(R) core(TM) Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.50GHz 2.50GHZ

memory (RAM): 4.00 GB

system type: 32-bit OS

well since my computer is still under warrenty im getting a new motherboard and heatsink from dell with the same graphic card but it not exactly the same one i have now cause they are sending me the reworked nVidia GPUs from the manufacturers thats supposed to have the bugs fixed. so lets hope that works.

Who the f**k plays warhammer on his computer. Can't believe games workshop made pc games of warhammer. Warhammer the leading tabletop strategy game on this planet don't ruin it by making it into a pc game.
