    Is this a laptop ? ?

    What else has happened other than Win Updates ? ?

      There's alot more to this story than i can determine right now...
      Provide more exact details on what you have done up to this point...for example "restore"... what type of restore was it ? ?

      Do you see any restart message from Windows Update during this shutdown message you are mentioning in your post?
      Try looking at this link -> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/prevent-windows-update-from-forcibly-rebooting-your-computer/ If the given topic is not the same with your current situation, DO NOT follow and disregard the solution. There may be other things needed attention but first give more answer to what and when this happens.

      Is the issue recurring every time you play games?

      What specific game is that?

      Can you post here also the specs of your computer?

        what do you mean by specs?
        The computer desktop model/brand and any currently installed, removed or added RAM, Videocard, Soundcard details. The recurring number of  beeps it makes would also be helpful.

        specs = "specifications" --> descriptive information about hardware or software products

        As you mentioned, your OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit...
        How much memory do you have?
        What hard drive do you have? How big is the hard drive? How many free space do you have in your hard drive?
        What video card do you have?

        Does the specifications of your computer games are compatible with the specifications of your desktop?

          Where are you getting these drivers from ? ?
          I hope you're not using one of those driver update apps...

            You have not yet posted your Computer model/details as a number of things could come from that issue. It could be overheating and PC needs to be dusted or processor needs to reapply some thermal paste. It could be bad RAM as you need to test one for every booting. Power supply could also cause this. Driver issue is also another factor.
