    Kernel Processor Power causing computer to shut off


    Hi Guys,
    I'm back again with yet another problem that has been going on ever since I bought my HP-dv6 that is still less then a year old(it will be turning a year old next month.) So here is my problem every time I play world of warcraft or now Diablo 3 after about an hour it will just shut off no blue screen no nothing just dies. Now at first I thought it's just overheating and that's all but now it's gotten a little more serious. I can only play diablo 3 for an hour and then it shuts off and reboots it's self after 5-30seconds. and will do that every hour I trying playing Diablo 3. So after getting confused about why it was doing this I went straight to my event viewer and found that before every time it just shut off this log was made. Here is the log event viewer, logs (The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 2 seconds since the last report.) should I be worried about this or not?
    P.s. I'm not to sure if this was the right place to post this if not let me know Thank You
    Computer Specs:
    Model:HP Pavilion dv6
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
    Ram: 8gb
    Processor:2nd Gen Intel Core i5
    If I forgot anything please let me know and ill make sure to include it.
    Any help is greatly appreciated Thank You!!:)
