One old game from my youth: Rainbow Dragon
I never got anywhere, and no one ever could tell me, how to get anywhere at all.

I never thought about this. Hm, here are some of mine I can think of:
PC:
Quake: The Elder God Shrine
Quake III Arena: Grim Dungeons
Duke Nukem 3D: Red Light District
Commander Keen IV: Lifewater Oasis
Jazz JackRabbit: Tubelectric 1
C64:
The Last Ninja: The Wastelands
Wizball: Level 4
Turrican: Level 3-1 (I love the music there)
The Great Giana Sisters: None... the whole game is great.
Uridium: Lead (a good game to smash your joystick against the wall)

Just put it on an flat insulating surface where you know it is safe from anything that could harm it (like water, dirt...). Putting it into an anti-static bag would be recommendable, though.

Well, it would be a low cost solution for a temporary time if there is not the money for buying a new card. I should have mention that. Sorry.

Follow landbeforetimelover's guide. It's better explained.

Interesting, indeed. All the time we have suspected the CPU and the PSU, but it could be the graphics card that just overheats and shutting off the computer.
I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff. If you are unsure, ask someone for help. I hope my little guide here helps though...
You can find the graphics card if you follow where the cable which is connecting the computer with the monitor is being connected. Then open the case, look on which card the cable is plugged in... and you have found the graphics card. Remove the cable, remove the screw that holds the card in place. Before you remove the card, please touch a radiator first, to be sure to, uh... unload the static electricity charge from your body. Unless a simple touch can destroy the hardware. If there is still a cable connected to the card which goes to the PSU, remove it. Now, remove the card carefully and place it at a safe place where no electricity can harm it (wooden table...).
Take the other graphics card, which should be of the same slot type (PCIe 2.0 or AGP) and plug it into the same slot where the other card has been in. Make sure that it is plugged in steady (I hope that is the right word). Secure the card with the screw, plug in the 6 pin cable, if the card has a slot for it, close the case and connect it with the monitor. When the computer is booting, Windows wants to install the drivers to the card.
If the graphics card is the problem there are ways to get around it. There are so-called Slot Fans that can be placed near the graphics card to support the heat removal.

The weird values at TEMPIN2, FANIN1 and the percentages seem to be reading errors. You can ignore that. My system shows at one of sensors a temperature of >100 ?C, which is, of course, wrong. The reason is that the programmer can't know every specifications of all the used sensor chips. So don't worry here.
Paint and Firefox are not really known for CPU usage. Can you start a game for a few minutes while this program is running? After this the value at the Max column will be very interesting, to see if there is really a thermal issue or not.

Hmm, Core Temp only shows the temperature of the CPU and no other sensors (just downloaded and tested). HWMonitor shows all sensors and the running speed of the fans. And this the most interesting for me.

And Machine Slave...I suggest you refrain from just repeating what you hear online unless you're able to verify it with your own experiences. Only give advice if you really know what you're talking about. Computers aren't like they used to be. They're very diverse and complex. Just because your machine does something doesn't mean it's the norm or that another computer will act remotely like it in the same situation. My experience comes not only from the ~200 computers that I personally own, but also from seeing 6-12 client computers every day and dealing with 6-12 different people's problems.Well, I might not have being dealing with such amount of computers like you did, but I'm trying to help when I think I can. And, yes, you're right, a computer can shut off without any warning if the CPU is getting too hot. But every computer which is at least 4 or 5 years old has an option in the BIOS to set up a warning sound before this happens. The most computers I have encountered didn't have this option enabled.
Anyway... it doesn't matter for me who is right or wrong. There is an issue that should be solved before this issue can cause more damage than necessary.
