As the title says, the main menu you will load, and sure enough, 5 seconds after that it reboots my PC. Never fails. Purchased from Steam.

Running the latest catalyst 8.11 drivers with the following:

Q6600
4870X2
X-Fi Platinum
Asus p5q-deluxe
Vista x64
 
Well, just cranked the fan too 100%.

Game lasted about 2 minutes longer (no play time, just at the menu) but still rebooted just the same.
 
I had trouble with the game when I first built my system, but it's because I used some pretty cheap thermal paste that was sitting in my parts closet since 2003. I switched to some good OCZ thermal paste (thus lowering my temps) and the problems disappeared.
