I've had this same problem. When I load a saved game, my computer will reboot after I complete my first turn. It's a very ugly bug. I've never seen anything like it since the days of Win95.
A couple things I've observed...
It only happens to me on large or huge maps. I've never had a problem with standard or smaller maps. I even added another 512MB stick of memory hoping that it would help, but it didn't make any difference.
It doesn't happen when I load autosaves. Go figure. You'd think that they'd be the same, but I only get reboots on games that I saved. So now I just play until the next autosave and then quit. Next time I want to play, I load the autosave. Try that, I'm curious if it works for you too. Also, once the game has been running for a while, I can load one of my saves and it won't cause reboot. Like I said, go figure. Who knows, weird bug.

It worked. Granted, I still get some rare occurences of black screen --> colorful screen --> black screen again, but not of the same type, AND it ends after a few seconds so that I can play on!
