Default Problem Playing Games

This is probably the oddest problem I have ever had with any computer. After about five minutes into playing Warcraft III my computer goes to sleep for no apparent reason. Does anyone know what the heck would cause this?

That's weird... really weird...
Ehm like Happydude said, is it only WC3? If so, try re-installing it...
Nice owl's scout there.

Did you jus get WC3?

Also, are you playing the normal version or the expansion?

I'd like to play with you sometime perhaps.
