crashing while running disks and games

When i run a game or any sort of disk my computer is fine for like 10 minutes and then it just shuts the whole computer down without warning or an error message. I have had the people that built my computer run a diagnostic, memtest and other tests and defrag it and they have found nothing

browsing help sites like this has just made this problem even more infuriating because people suggest hardware problems and driver problems etc but i have the latest drivers for graphics card, 2 gigs of ram, dual core processor, all my hardware has been fully checked etc etc and the problem persists

if i start my computer and instantly run a game it wont crash for about 30 minutes but if i go on myspace or something before it will crash within the first 5-10 minutes

my computer is well above the recommendations for the games i play

also this problem didnt start untill a couple months after i got the computer

i have had my hardrive wiped and all the newest drivers etc reinstalled and it only seemed to get worse

another thing is, after my computer crashes it wont get past the loading screen before it crashes again, i have to wait about 10 minutes before it will start up properly again

i bought the computer for gaming so this is really anoyying me please help!
