PC Help

Okay, this problem just started today and I know for a fact I am not this computer smart.
Basically, everytime I start a game in general, my computer decides it wants to restart itself. It started when I tried to boot up WoW and I had thought one of WoWs file has been corrupted or something a long that line. Well, it wasn't just WoW. It happened when I tried to play LoL. I brought up Mass Effect 2 as kind of a test dummy and sure enough, same thing. It'll let the game run for about 3-5 minutes before the screen goes black and the PC restarts itself.
This is the error I'm getting once I boot the computer back up

After that, the computer seems to run fine. It's only happened when I attempt to play any kind of game. My assumption is my video card. I checked the fan which seems to be working fine. I suppose it still could be overheating in the sense, I have a can of air for that.
This is my current video card
Any general ideas? I obviously don't think I should ditch the entire dang computer, but is possibly time for a new video card?
