Acer Aspire 8930 shutsdown while playing games...

It's quite annoying. Whenever I play a game that has any kind of real graphics, my laptop will, in the middle of playing, shut down. It happens usually around 5-10 minutes in to the game, and it is really annoying. For example, the game Aion will crash in the middle of character creation.

I don't have this kind of problem when I'm doing anything else on my laptop. Whether that be browsing the web, playing flash games, or watching DVD's.

Here are my system specs.

Hopefully this is something I can fix this side, if not, than that isn't horrible, as I need to send my computer out to fix the left speaker regardless.
