Hey guys, I posted this thread before,
Empire Total War - rebooting PC
Sadly, it is still happening. After getting an extra 4GB of Kingston Ram and updating all my drivers, the game still crashes.
It is getting really fustrating...really. Never use to do this in Windows XP.
Any suggestions?

i would but the only prob is that folder is empty. Whenever my computer starts back up again i get no message or notification about an unexpected crash or shutdown...even when i start the game.
cheers
Could it be over heating? Since you said it does it while playing games
Check your temperatures. Sounds like something is overheating, causing a BIOS shutdown.

hmmm maybe. But it only happens in Empire Total War. Although my brother was playing Call of Duty MW2 and he said it had randomly rebooted while he was playing (it has never happened to me and it was the only time it happened to him)
Ok so...I have stock fans so yes it could be overheating.
Though how can i display the temp's while I'm playing a game?
Cheers
You can use RealTemp for CPU temperatures, and MSI afterburner for your GPU. Or GPUz

Thanks for the help.
But for some reason whenever i try to click on the RealTemp exe's it just comes up with an error in regards to my AMD dualcore processor.
but i shall keep the other program running while im playing Empire Total War and will let you know what the log says =D cheers
Experienced a similar overheating problem running GRAW2 with the previous cooling sink/fan. You can try speedfan. I think you have two choices.
1) Clean out all your dust gremlins, add another 120 exhaust fan is you can't crank up the sink's rpm's.
2) Buy/Install a better heatsink/fan.
By the way, if your current sink is stock or not 'gaming' quality then 2x120's probably won't matter.
