When I was having an issue with heat on an older computer a few years ago, someone gave me an internal temperature sensor, the programs exist on the net that show you the internal temperature of your pc.
I would recommend HWMonitor, which gives detailed information on multiple parts of the computer.

Might be your video card. It might be worth opening the case and checking the card's capacitors. When my last card died, it damaged the motherboard which in turn caused POST errors.

I presume Windoze 7 has an event viewer, I'm pretty sure I found one on a student's laptop. Try right clicking Computer/Manage/Event Viewer, or google where is is on your system. Often the logs there will record error codes you can google.
Madame Mim:
Even after enabling the ability to see the BSoD it was not displayed - either I missed a step or it isn't relevant to this crash.
Temperatures within normal parameters.
Error lists:-
Critical: Kernel Power: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. - Effect not Affect report.
Error: Kernel Event Tracing: Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035 - normal and not relevant according to web
Error: Event Log: The previous system shutdown at 11:50:18 AM on 23/10/2011 was unexpected. - see item 1.
Warning: Wininit: Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. The system administrator should review the list of libraries to ensure they are related to trusted applications. - I have no idea, researching now.
and a bunch of informational messages I'm assuming are more about reboot than anything.
The motherboard thought is interesting. I have been getting complaints about intelliTouch, intelliClick and one of my sound card files on boot up occassionally even though the programs have all been working perfectally.

Does this only happen during or after the sims has been played or does this happen at any time? I'm willing to bet with it NOT wanting to start up, you've got either a bad power supply, or a bad connection between the power switch and the pinouts on the motherboard grounding themselves out to your case (highly unlikely). Or, like everyone else is saying, your motherboard is going to die. And soon. Make sure you're getting adequate cooling, but if the damage has been done there's really nothing you can do to reverse it.
