Heya Derlin,
Try the usual installing up-to-date video card drivers and reinstalling one of the games. If that doesn't work then see if you have a third party video card installed. If so, try taking it out and using your on-board video card and starting the games up. They will probably be slow and everything, but just check to see if the computer still restarts. Let's see from there

Hi Derlin. What nvidia card have you got? This will help us to make sure you're installing the correct driver

Do you have an on-board video port as well? If you do, try taking out your Nvidia card and plugging the monitor into your on-board video. Then try playing a game like that and see if the computer shuts down. Don't worry about the poor performance, just leave the game going and see what happens.
