WELL. I think we may have found the problem then.
If this happens every time, chances are something is fuxed up. Whoever custom built your computer is an ass hole and deserves to die, because he didn't give you enough cooling on SOMETHING. If I had to guess, I'd say the processor, though it could be NEARLY anything. If your motherboard supports it (it should, since it's new), go into bios (usually press Del during startup) and look for temperatures. If your processor gets really hot after a few minutes, then the computer shuts down, I think there's a pretty good chance that's a problem. If you find that's the problem, I would go talk to this guy, demand that he either fix your existing heatsink/fan setup or buy you a new one and install it PROPERLY.
