I Just got a new Dell PC and Im having a problem with it. Whenever i play games, TFC, CS or Diablo2 right in the middle, my screen freezes and PC just shuts all the way down, like the plug was pulled from wall, but it boots right back up with no prob. Its really weird, I dont know if its getting to hot or what, Someone help, im going to post this is Tech forum too for more help.
Thank you in advance.

It sounds like temperature issues. Try using Motherboard Monitor (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/), I know this works with some Dell machines.
