Well, i don't like to post these things, but IL2 will load up fine, operate as fine as you like, but get into a mission and it'll just go 'phut' after 5-10 minutes and switch the entire computer off just like that. I'm not sure why or anything, at first i thought it was a powercut.. But then i realised that only the comp was affected, and that it happened when i used IL2.
Does anyone else get this? Any suggestions?

Tried other games for 10-15 minutes? Running graphic benchmark (Like 3DMark) for 10-15 minutes, while monitoring temperatures and voltages?

others are fine: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. , Empire total war, Medieval 2 Total war, Guild Wars, that's it -- no other games on the PC. Thing is, they're all more heavy on the pc than Il2... certainly Empire and Stalker.

Have you tried a system restore?
There is a know lock-up problem with machines using Vista and nVidia cards. If you have that combination, load the new nVidia driver and set your gpu fan speed higher.

I've just got my PC up and running temporarily, after i started experiencing similar problems. i tried everything, starting with system restore, eventually having to format my entire HD partition. it turns out a load of files in my recently-installed UI 1.1 had become corrupted. the HD itself is only 5 months old... 
after repairing the first partition, the second partition went 'corrupted' on my ass as well...this time from my UI 1.0 install...so I lost both installs in one day...
i'm not sure how the files got corrupted...but my backups are still intact, thank goodness. i now have at least 2 backup copies of each different install...just in case of this kind of scenario happens...
i sincerely hope your situation isn't as bad, but make sure you have your IL2 backed up, mate. 8)
I'm not sure, i have a feeling it could have something to do with some Beta WW1 stuff, but no-one else has this problem to the best of my knowledge.. Nothing's corrupted as far as i know, but it is defintely to do with UI 1.11, since IL2 worked fine on sound mod.
