First thing you need to do is: Right click "My Computer" > Properties > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings.... Uncheck the "Automatically Restart" checkbox.

This will stop your machine from rebooting everytime something goes wrong and will also allow you to see the error message.

I believe the 2 items above (moxtly your RAM) are your primary showstoppers.

I agree with Rasta. I would look into the cost of 2GB of RAM, it's a low dollar upgrade with quite an improvement in gaming as well as general system performance.

Great news! So I took the computer and decided to open it up to see if there was any dust or anything. As soon as I open it up I blew inside and a whole dust cloud came out! So i cleared out all the dirt which was A LOT. Now the game runs fine

thank you for all the help everyone gave me!

Classic overheat issue due to dust and dirt on electronic boards and components!

Nice you did that cleaning!!!

TIP:
Once a year take your PC out on the garden, open the side panels and clean it with a big air blower. Best time to do this is just before the summer period, where temps are high and you need a clean PC in order to be able to radiate the heat back to the environment.

LOL we do that blower thing too! and... I had to hold the comp steady. uugh! =D

I'd use compressed air rather than a vacuum or shopvac with the hose on the outlet port. It's much cleaner and you have better control of what you're doing.

2000W hairdryer does the trick for me!
