I'm having a strange problem where the game is spontaneous causing my computer to simply shut down. No freezing, no crashing, just BOOM - power saver mode, computer is OFF. Starting the computer back up results in safe/repair mode.

Computer:
Windows 7
4 GB RAM
2.8 GHz AMD Phenom II x4 processor
ATI Radeon HD 4600 series

No other program or game in Steam causes this effect. I noticed (when it happened the third time) that it was always during among the last stages - perhaps the most graphic intense? Felt the case when it happened, it wasn't overly warm and there's plenty of airflow.

Any clues? Thanks!

happened to me when using 1920x1080 res... switching to 1600x900 worked fine. anyway, i think is a problem with framerate. even in main menu speed of video card's fan is increasing (because of temperature of course)

try a small res. supossing you use a high one now
