INSPIRON 537S suddenly turning off

I have an Inspiron 537s and it has developed a problem of suddenly turning off.  The only time it does it is when I am playing a game online.  Sometimes it takes an hour, sometimes less.  Would this be a computer problem or a problem with the software?  I am running Windows 7.  Thanks for the hlep.

Problem sounds directly related to World of Warcraft and Overheating.

Hi Scott0308,

If a system turns off abruptly then it could be a hardware related problem, does it just turn off or does it restart ?

Any Software initiated Shutdown would be through the normal waiting period for the shutdown or a BSOD.
