Hey guys, hopefully you can help me instead of paying for some computer technicians.
Basically I'm a fan of the "Total War" game series. Don't know how many of you here are into them. But anyway, I've had Medieval II: Total war for a couple of years now and recently whenever I've played it and its in the battle scree or just finished a battle and returns to the campaign map, the computer shuts down automatically.
The most obvious is it could be a bug. Have you googled the issue to see if others have had it? If so, was the game patched at some point? I'd look on the official website and make sure your game is up to date.
Your computer might also be overheating. Open your case and make sure all your fans are working properly, or monitor your heat through the onboard sensors. You should have a program that came with the computer that does that for you.
I second that, Heat is the most likely culprit.
Check the fans on both the CPU & your Graphics Card, Graphics Cards don't tend to get too hot during normal usage, but once you start playing games, that puts more of a load on them, and without proper cooling, can cause them to overheat, causing either shutdowns, or graphic glitches.

Spoiler for Some Good Rules for Christians:
Luke 10:27 (Love God Above All, And Your Neighbor as yourself) And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 7:12 (Do unto others)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 5:43-48 (Pray for those that persecute you)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Luke 6:27-29 (Love your enemies.)
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books.
Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."

You guys shouldn't underestimate God's power. Everyone's always wondering why their computers don't work, but it's pretty obvious to me that god tries to make the lives difficult of people who look at porno and play violent video games.

Medieval Total War is a fairly complex strategy game about a period of European history. It is not merely a "violent video game" - the point of it is strategy, not violence.
Maybe if you have a problem with the content, you could go back and ask the medieval Christians in Europe at the time to stop killing each other?
