I was having shutdown issues with another game, have you used a program like speedfan or realtemp? Using those I was able to pinpoint that the temperature that caused shutdown was my CPU with one core going to 95c(!). I replaced the stock heatsink with an aftermarket cooler and my temps haven't gone above 60 under full load (E8400).
If you look at which component is causing the heating issue using a program that tracks each component you might get an idea, I found that my GPU was always really cool, so that eliminated that from the worries.
