When PC's restart when playing games it usually means it is overheating.. Youve got a low end everything so it might be your processer, ram or most likely your vid card overheating. Trying lowering the graphics settings.

Seems very strange. I've run the game on lower specs that that. Try installing the patch(s) for the game.

Also, which graphics drivers are you currently using?

It doesnt mean overheating always.

Can be faulty ram, where it accessed the bad area of memory and bam restart.

You have a Ring0 Debugger present, causing the game to force a -shboot onto it.

Incompatible driver with the game, or in general.
