Arvind has a problem with his XP pc turning off in the middle of Games or Google earth. Here’s what might be wrong.You need to make sure your system hardware such as RAM and CPU is capable of running the intensive software you are. The 512MB RAM you have is kinda small these days especially for the latest games.
Your computer’s power supply unit might be peaking and you may need another more powerful one to handle everything.
Your system might also be overheating when doing anything intensive for long periods so google cpu monitoring tools to download some software to check this. Anything over 50 or 60 degrees Celsius is probably getting too hot so you might need a better cooling solution or some thermal compound. Make sure the cpu is fitted properly too.
Make sure the graphic card is seated properly and all the pins are ok.
As always, make sure you have updated anti-virus and firewall software and run it regularly but maybe try turning these off when you are playing to see if this is an issue.
