My brother made my computer because well, i dont no computers, and it has been acting up... My comp has 1.8 Ghz Amd Athlon 32Mb Processor, 512 DDR ram, and ATI Radeon 9000, 128 Mbs Video card. So its a decent computer, and i have never lagged. But the problem is when i go to RuneScape or play certain Music Songs, my computer completely shuts down. Monitor goes black, Computer lights shut off and fans stop so i know it is really shut down and have to restart my computer. It is annoying because it happens every like 5 minutes. It may take 30 or so seconds to start up but is still annoying as hell. If you have any knowledge of what the problem is or how to fix it please tell me. Any questions, ill answer happily.

Thank you for your time.
 
Well, since you don't know a lot about computers, ask someone if they have a spare PSU(sounds like it's the PSU that's causing the problem). Have someone connect it to your computer and see if that fixes the problem. Your CPU could be overheating and causing the PC to shutdown also. Download SpeedFan and tell us what your temps are.

In order temps are 67,58,50, HD0 is 36, 54, cant type alot restarts alot with speedfan. 3 fans but only one has a number which is 3708.
 
Well, the highest thing I see is 67. If that's your CPU temp then that may be the reason why your PC is restarting. If your CPU becomes too hot it will shut down the computer to prevent damage to the CPU. Do you clean out your computer regularly? Dust piles up inside of the PC after a month or 2 and that can increase the heat. Just use some compressed air to blow out the dust. I'm sorry if I'm giving too many instructions, but there's so many things that can be causing the shut downs.
 
No problem at all with instructions, but what confusos me, is that i can play NS which requires ALOT more system use and it has never crashed, soo would that say something?
