Screen goes black and powers off when playing Regiments Predator Helios 500

No idea how to even diagnose, tried reviewing event logs.

Downloaded latest graphics drivers but didn't fix the problem.

Any ideas where to start?

Monitor CPU & GPU temps while playing. GPU temps over 85*C and CPU over 90*C will likely cause this. Try raising machine about an inch above a hard surface to promote better airflow, taking care not to block vents on the bottom and sides.
