Might be something to do with thermal shutdown or vidcard

Do you play any other games?

Do you have this problem with any other games?

On boot check your system and CPU temperature through BIOS(most often pres DELETE key on starts up[then go to PCHEALTH]) then when game CPU crashes on reboot check it again thermal shutdown is usually set between 60-80C 140-176F possibly as low as 55C 131F I don't recommend setting it above 75C 167F but you can set it higher to test to see if game still crashes CPU(DON'T turn it off).

If this is the case you may need a bigger heatsink and fan on your CPU or it could be your fan isn't working correctly also check CPU fan RPM in PChealth should be 3000+ rpm.

If as Obriano stated it is a bad download of the game if the game was caught in a loop it may cause overheating also

If it isn't thermal shutdown update vid drivers
