I've noticed that in boot camp with windows 7 I'll just be browsing the internet and watching a few you-tube videos and my mac starts getting pretty warm, but the fans stay at the same default speed, no matter how hard the system is running. I'm guessing that while your playing video games the cpu is throwing out so much heat that without the fans ramping up it hits 100 degrees celsius and shuts down to save itself.A few people have recommended getting SMC fan control, starting it up in mac osx at a high fan speed, and then rebooting into windows. Sometimes the high fan speed will carry over and you then can game without worry. I haven't tried it myself but there are several threads on it already.</blockquote>
