Game Shuts down computer after 15 minutes

Unfortunately that probably means that your computer is overheating. I have had the same problem with a few high-performance games (including crossworlds). My 3 years old computer simply couldn't handle it.

Good reason to go out and buy a new kick-ass computer

Like the previous poster said, it's probably a graphics chip overheating. If you want to keep your old hardware, I would tone down some of the graphics options, especially Anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing, texture detail, etc. That should at least reduce the strain on the graphics card enough so you can play for a couple hours without crashing.

or you could all just clean off that dust and spiders out before getting a new PSU, buying a new computer should be last resort. Nothing should overheat on default hardware settings if there is no dust and at least one intake fan.
