Anyone else have their system simply shut down when playing Starcraft II? I'm assuming it has to do with an overheating problem as I have read many more instances of this happening. I installed the game, played for about an hour and boom, the system simply shut down right in the middle of it. I've never had my system do this before playing any other game. I can play Left 4 Dead for hours and it's not an issue at all.

I don't have the highest end video card (ATI Radeon - don't remember the exact card - I'm at work currently (4670 maybe?)), a quad core processor and 8 GB of RAM.

Little frustrating to shell out $60 for a game and have this happen. Not sure what to do here. Thoughts? Inexpensive suggestions?
