Hi 

The shutdown can occure because of a high temperature of your graphic card or cpu. Some computers shutdown the computer as a security when the heat of the cpu or the graphic card is too high to prevent damage. 

Maybe you have dust on the CPU fan or the graphic card fan that prevents the heat from evacuating correctly.

To clean the fans, you must use an air pressurised spray can. If the shutdown still happens after the cleaning, the other options are graphic driver problem which makes the computer crash when a specific graphic information of the game goes through the graphic card. A driver update of the Graphic card can help sometimes.

The last option could be a problem with your power supply. Maybe your configuration asks too much power for your configuratoin especially when you play games. So their is an electrical crash of your power supply which could explain the shutdown. 

Hope this will help.

I have the same problem with windows 7, eventually I have tried cabal, warcraft 3, left4dead, sunonline..  It will auto shutdown when the game running for 20mins, sometimes even less than that.. 5mins it will shutdown. Most of all, the laptop is NEW! Just purchased it on Nov 2009, Acer Aspire 4736G, use it less than 1 week, this kind of problem came, I thought was hardware problem, sent it to warranty.

Well the funniest part, its been in service centre until Today! Still they can't figure out the problem. So I want to know, is it true that windows 7 cannot support any games at all??

i have the same problem too..after searching the solution, I got the picture about this. there is maybe the graphic card is overheating because of the graphic usage in the game. I playing starcraft, warcraft, 3D games and others, my laptop will shutdown after I playing the games for a while. the problem is not the laptop but the game itself.
