Game shuts down my Computer

So I didn't know if this has happened to anyone else since AoY, but ever since the second or third patch after it was released, my computer literally shuts off, whereas before this problem was non existent. It doesn't trip a circuit, my computer runs at 72 degrees Fahrenheit, and it only seems to happen after loading STO, or during he Cryptic launch screen on a rare occasion.

Sometimes it does it five times before it stops, sometimes three, or even no problems and I get my Admirality done and turn the game off with no issues. It's happened only one other time with trying to load a Flash player game, and I'm wondering if it is my graphics card?

    Fahrenheit?! Its pretty low then.. ;) If celcius it could be your card depending on how old it is and how much cooling you have going into your rig..Little more details about your rig and cooling system would help..Cooling = how many fans (intake and exhaust the rig has) or water cooling setup..That kinda stuff..
