I'm in the Captain's Quarters and after about 3-5 minutes of being in it, the screen on my computer just turns black, and all of a sudden turns off, i press the power button and it blinks on then goes right back off, after maybe 2 minutes, i'm able to turn it back on, this is the only game its doing this on, and it seems to do it in the captain's quarters.

CQ strains most computers and it sounds like yours is overheating. Try reducing your graphics settings or simply shut off captain's quarters as it doesn't serve much purpose in its current form.

Yeeee!

Try cleaning out the heat sink of all the dust thats clogging it up, normaly does that to my laptops and all the ones at work so its worth a shot
