Program and sometimes comp shuts down

[budoshin]

When I am running photoshop or age of empires sometime that program will shut down or my whole comp will turn off.

I have a amd 2100 with a gigabyte ga-7vaxp, 512ddr ram, nvidia geforce fx5200 and a maxtor 80 gig hard drive.

I have tried to run various different tests with no success.  The only thing I can come up with is that when it is hot in the condo it will do it more often, so maybe it is overheating. (if this is the case what are the suggestions to fix this?)

Thank you

What are the temperature readings? Gigabyte has a tool called 'Easytune' that usually comes with your mainboard on the Driver CD. I suggest you install that tool to check your temperature readings. Either that or see the PC Health section in your BIOS.
