I've been having issues where my computer restarts by itself while I play sc2. I'm guessing it is either a power issue of an overheating issue. my specs are in my signature and it is in a cosmos S with no aftermarket cooling. I suspect overheating because my video card fans are both running at 95% or something the whole time I'm playing. It also only happens after a few hours of play.

Do I need aftermarket cooling?
 
Download a temperature monitor like Hwmonitor or Intel TAT. Or use any built in monitor you Mobo may have. Either way, watch the temperature and run some sort of benchmark. If you think its the CPU over heating try burntest; if you think its the GPU(s) then I'd do a futuremark bench.
 
96C seems too hot for it. Typical temperatures are less than 80C under load.
Did you check for the dust buildup on the fans/heatsinks?
 
96c Isn't hot enough for a shutdown though, assuming that's the max it temp. You can try cleaning out the computer with compressed air. Id try running Prime95 or seeing if you can get it to reboot doing anything non-graphical try to narrow down whats causing it. Also check you CPU temp, if your video card is that hot you may have a heating issue with your CPU.
