It could be due to an overheating problem causing a random restart when playing a graphically intense game.

Make sure your computer is in a ventilated area letting airflow through your computer.

Make sure all of your fans in your computer are working correctly.

Over time dust will build up in your computer it is recommended you clean out the dust as that can lower the temperature of your computer helping to prevent overheating problems.

This may or may not be the problem.

It most likely is. What are the specs on your computer Chaos? Actually just list your processor and videocard.

sounds like an overheating problem, post your cpu and gfx card temperatures.

Yea i guess it is that my comp has so much dust and all that other stuff you said. I just cleaned my comp and it doesnt happened yet thx.Ill try and clean it more often.

Theres an option in either ur Nvidia options (assuming your using Nvidia) that stops the computer restarting when your card gets to hot.

+ theres another option in your bios that will stop the computer from restarting on over heating. However, i wouldn't recommend turning them off unless your sure it isn't that because you don't want to burn your chips life away

Either way if the card gets hot enough it'll just shut down.

I turned mine off on my ATI and BIOS and my computer continued to shut down because of overheating, but you're right Ninja, I wouldn't do that unless you know what you're doing.
