Have you made any chnages to your system lately? Do you see a blue screen for about half of a second before the computer shuts down? Is your video card compatible?

Have you looked at any support documents on the Blizzard Entertainment website?

I used to have a similar proble while running Doom3...it was related to overheat in the processor.  When you are runnig a heavy game such as W3FT you processor and video cards are constantly working...when the pc detects overheating as a safe trigger it shuts itself down.  try upgrading the hardware or installing better cooling fans.  Or you might also want to try to overclock your machine but is kind of risky.
hope to be helpfull

That is a brilliant idea! Oh, wait, overclocking means more heat, more heat means.. Oh, you figured it out.
