Check and see if your CPU fan is working OK , Or add a case fan
If you can get a system cooler from "Just cooler" and mount it under your video card so it can blow air on the heat sink of your card
If you have Norton antivirus 2000,disable it ( Ya Nortom likes to reboot your computer )
The number one cause of reboot syndrome is heat and your system works harder and hotter playing games since they are so graphic and math intensive, So look at running cooler
