System shutting itself down playing BF2...

For some reason my system has started shutting itself down when playing BF2. It doesn't do it in any other game but this may just be due to BF2 taxing my graphics card the most.

What is strange though is that it only just started doing it and I have been playing BF2 (on the same settings) since last July. It can happen after an hour or after 10mins. I suspect it may be a heat problem but am not sure.

(I've tried 5 different drivers and everything in my system is at stock)

The card is a x850XT PE

Any ideas?
 
What temp should my GPU be?

It's currently 57C and i've just turned it on from cold. However, it gets up to just under 100C when gaming for a bit.
