I'm using a Windows Vista PC. Whenever I play videos for more than 15 mins, my PC will automatically shut down.

What could the problem be? Any ideas how to stop it shutting down?

could be cpu overheating. Intel cpus will force shutdown if temp. gets to high. – Denis Oct 17 '10 at 8:09
It happened to me with my older laptop. When I played flv inside browser cpu usage was high, it heated up and shutdown ! Keep you task manager on and check the cpu usage while video is playing. – Nands Oct 17 '10 at 8:12
