Son-of-a--- forum logout issue ate my post... *grumble* that'll learn me to copy my posts to notepad before posting. Here I go again...
Just guessing here, but the "new computer" line leads me to one of the usual suspects; Have you tried updating your graphics drivers? I know Win7 'tries' to provide you with drivers, but they are usually old ones that are only good for browsing the web / editing documents. Not suitable for high end gaming.
If that doesn't work, you might find more targeted advice in the "Technical issues & bugs" forum (under the 'development' heading). While there is some overlap between knowledgeable furumites, generally Player Questions is more for in-game help ("My health/xp bars dissappeared!") than technical issues. While there you might want to look over the "++ Common solutions & Posting guidelines ++" Sticky, paying close attention to the "How to post" section. This will help those that hang out there get all the information they need to help you out (It will be a lot of text to copy into your post; this is normal).
EDIT: the link StarGeek provided ("[Guide] Asking for technical help on the forums") might be a little more up to date and thorough than Zloth's guide from 2008.
Sidenote: for future reference, no need to reinstall CoH if you accidentally modify your settings higher than your computer can handle. In the NCsoft launcher, when CoH is selected, there's a down arrow. Click that, and then hit "properties", and in there check the "launch in safe mode" box. (The safemode checkbox should be right on the old launcher window before launching the game). Safemode launches the game using minimum settings so you can (hopefully) change the default to something less taxing.

Update all your drivers first and foremost. That should get you started. Also, don't start right off with ultra mode maxed out. I found it's better to work your way from the lowest settings and up to see what your system can handle.
Keeping it Brutal !!!!!!!!
Hey folks,
I just bought a brand new computer. Every time I try to run CoH, my entire system resets. I can log in, select my character, but then, the moment my character appears in the world, my entire system resets. I tried running Ultra settings first. Then uninstalled the game and tried the other setting. Still the same problem. My system
runs windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, 8 GB RAM, Intel Core i5 CPU 3.20 Ghz Processor, and an ATI Radeon HD 5700 Video card. Any more specs that anyone needs to know?
How do I fix this problem and play again? I'm starting to jones here.
