How often does this happen, and what are you doing during it's occurance. It can be due to many different things, but one of the first things i might suggest is run a virus scan.
It could be
___________
1. A program downloaded that your computer doesn't like;
2. An antivirus misdetecting something and causing your computer to lock down (which i highly doubt)
3. As previously stated, your PC overheating
The first thing i suggest you do is run a virus scan, it's practically harmless, requires almost no effort, and gets rid of 70% of your problems. (made-up statistic). If nothing is detected, you might want to consider leaving your PC on, less. If on too long, your computer will freak out.
Worst case scenario, i reccomend you format your harddrive, if it becomes too much of a hastle.
Again, this is information just spat out, with no description of your problem.

You never get any sort of a BSOD? How old is the PC? I would figure if your computer is over heating, usually it shuts off (if it gets to the temperature specified by the BIOS).
If its a memory issue, you might not have enough memory resources thus leading to system freezing.
If you can, pop in your windows CD, boot from the CD (Press f12 upon boot to bring up a boot manager, or configure your bios to boot from your CD first), then click repair, and try a windows diagnostic. It will take some time, but its worth a shot.

Reformatting is a last resource thing and should not be applied to every single problem.
That computer is fairly nice.
As above said, check your computer for malicious intrusions.
To make it better, download HijackThis! from here.
After running the program, click "Do a full system scan and save a log."
Do not fix anything yourself unless you are fully aware of the changes that'll occur.
After it is completed, post the contents from the .txt file in this thread.
Hope to get you back to gaming soon,
Ric.
p.s. When that specific motherboard over heats, your PSU will disengage all communications which turns your computer completely off.
