I did take a look at the event log. I didn't see anything suspicious under 'system', only that an unexpected shutdown took place, apparently it went so fast it couldn't even take a memory dump.
In the 'application' section however I found this:
I hope that helps

Here's something you might wanna read:

I. Try a modern 'free to play' game like warthunder, for example:
https://warthunder.com/en/game/
to test if your computer shuts down here too as soon as your system has to handle something graphically intensive..
(If you don't have any other games available besides SH3. Or try to play SH3 without mods for an hour or two to test if PC reboots or not?)
II. Install latest windows drivers: Version 1709:

III. Install 'ccleaner' to clean your hard drive and registry:
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
(when you clean registry the program will ask you if you want a backup or not? It's strongly recommended to do that!)
iV. 'Display driver Uninstaller' is a nice tool to make sure graphics card drivers are installed properly:

It will help you to completely get rid of old graphics card driver leftovers before you install a new one.
V. To test your RAM you can use Memtest86:

Vi. Use your antivirus software to scan for viruses and malware:

Now, all of that is of course only necessary when your computer regularly reboots whenever you start a hardware demanding program like a video game. Since you said that it never happened before there's probably no reason to be overly concerned..
