Windows 10: Computer shuts down/restarts when I'm in the middle of a game

It only happens when I'm doing certain things like playing specific games this doesn't happen for all of them or if I'm using photo editing software, mainly actions that put a load on my PC and even when I have task manager open and I can see how much these processes are taking up CPU and GPU wise, they don't even have to be taking up 100% but my PC still restarts. I know its a problem with a specific part but if nothing is constantly on 100% I'm not sure what is wrong. I was also having a similar problem with a game called Escape from Tarkov but I fixed it by updating my paging file size si

Random shut down and restart??

Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
E220@2.406hz
2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
Windows xp

Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused *Mad

One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?

 

What PC games would you recommend for a middle class laptop?

I started making a list and then came across this: http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2014/01/14/...omputer-games/
