Did you note temperatures of the CPU right before it shutdown?

Use a program like CoreTEMP or HWMonitor to observe the temps. and share them with us.

Also, how's the airflow within your PC Case?

Computer has one 120mm rear fan.

The temp was a bit over 60° (yes, I know, 65° for that processor - is death).

:)

Edit: VSync got its hands dirty here.

The case is somewhat classic; it's from DTR firm, the one with blue-led sys display at front.

P.S. Because these modern cases make me sick.

It's not cleaned yesterday, but, believe me as I say, it looks non-overdusted for me.
