If a computer just gets too hot, it doesn't shut off without warning.

I don't know where you're getting your information, but yes it does.  If a computer's CPU overheats, it will shut down to prevent permanent damage.
That's what I have experienced. Hm, maybe the warning is disabled in the BIOS. That should be checked. And I agree, a defective (or incompatible) RAM would cause bluescreens or freezings.

You can find out everything about your computer using the program Everest, I have mentioned above. It also shows you the temperatures, fans etc.

PSU = Power Supply Unit, it looks like that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ATX-Netzteil.jpg

EDIT:
I'm worried that the PSU might have a defect or something. If a computer just gets too hot, it doesn't shut off without warning. There should either a normal freeze, bluescreen or an acustic warning sound from the case. If I'm right and the PSU gets broken someday it could take some other components with it. In the worst case the PSU just goes "Boom" (exaggerated). I hope I'm wrong, but it should be checked.

I mean crash as in power off, no blue screen, no nothing.
This doesn't sound good. Someone who is familiar with it should check the PSU immediatly.

Hard to tell what's going on, but it sounds like an hardware issue for me. When does it happen, and what happens exactly? Does it shut off (like pressing the power button) or does it freeze, Bluescreen?

One thing you should check are the temperatures. Maybe the computer needs some cleaning (from dust, hairs etc.). Check if all fans are running, even in idle and at full load. You can use Everest or HWMonitor to do this.

Check if in the Event Viewer are critical events logged at the time when the computer have shutted itself off.


EDIT:
I should also read the rest of your message next time. :smile

Yes, the specifications are looking okay. But make sure the OS is a 64 Bit one, to have all the installed 4 GBytes of RAM (and for later upgrades).

1988 Theatrical Release / Petrie's Birth
« on: September 19, 2010, 07:32:12 AM »
I have never noticed this. And now, that I'm reviewing the film in my head... maybe they cut it out for some reason. But I think Petre got lost somehow, because he couldn't fly from the beginning. His family maybe rushed off in hurry (during the earthquake?) and forgot him?

Well, I'm curious if this Vaporware turns into real Software for real. At least, I'm waiting since the first announcement for this game. Hmmm... Duke Nukem 3D... good times.

Thanks guys.  :DD

@Kor:
Favourite movie? I like the seventh the most for some reason. Although the end was weird. A favourite character... hmm, no there is none. I have to admit I haven't seen the TV series yet.

@Campion1:
Some guitars would have been nice, yeah. With some blast beats.

The Welcome Center / A short introduction
« on: August 16, 2010, 11:04:16 AM »
Hi!

I'm not good in introducing myself. So... I'll make it short. I have been lurking this forum for a long while now, and I feel I should make my presence noticable.

I'm 32 years old and have been watching the first Land Before Time-Movie as a child. And since last year or so I have found out about the sequels they have made and watched almost all of them in the TV. Well, my opinion is, they should have cut out those singings. It's just annoying for me (my ears are used to some extreme Metal :smile ). Some of the movies are not bad at all.

These adorable dinosaur icons, I think I have seen them somewhere on the net before.
