Restarts when I have any kind of graphics

[Guest]

I have been having this problem for about 3 months now, everytime my kids
play games with any kind of graphics my pc shuts down!!! Today I installed a
new screensaver, the screen saver worked for like 5 minutes and again my pc
shut down!!! Can anybody give me any ideas on what the problem might be?? It
never use to do that. Thanks

what is your hardware? Do you have a stand-alone video card or
integrated video? what OS? what memory? HD? What kind of screen saver
or game?

Ok so I am pretty new to all this pc stuff so I will tell you what I can
ok! I have an:
e-machine C2825
AMD Athlon XP processor 2800 +
S3 unicrome
120gb hard drive
512 MB DDR
2.08 GHz
448 MB of Ram
If you need to know anything else you will have to tell me how to find out!
I know I am terrible! The screensaver is an animated one and the games are
the same, such as Tonka Tough trucks and Dora the Explorer. Hubby plays
football on here to and the PC shuts down.
