Possible. If it's hard shutting down it's not going to be the game causing it (unless it's riddled with some very nasty virus of course) - but it may be using a part of the system, most likely your graphics card that other games don't use, or just stresses a certain part more, causing it to panic and shut down.
Hardware-wise, graphics card is most likely, memory second and psu a close third. Memtest86 may be an idea here.

Have you checked your event logs for any messages or anything?
