Computer restart suddenly during battles

[Conclamatus]

So I have this weird thing that is my computer restart suddenly during battles when I zoom in even when I don't zoom in. The really weird thing is that this only happens in campaign when Rome is present, especially in my Roman campaign.

PC specs and Graphic setting

My PC specs: OS: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs) Ram: 1.5GB Video card: Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family - Memory: 128MB Graphic settings: Unit detail: Medium Vegetation Quality: Low Anti-aliasing: Off Unit Shaders: on low-res vegetation in the launcher Hope these help

Does the system spec has anything to do with this problem?????

Sounds like the video card is over heating and going into automatic shutdown to avoid damage.
Those computer specs you listed are not really suitable for any serious gaming above solitaire to be honest.

So I need to upgrade it?
And what should I upgrade?

Your best bet is to ask this in the basement here it does look a very outdated spec in particular the graphics but it depends how much you can afford as to what you can/should upgrade.

I agree...RS2 is eating that computer alive. You have too little video memory, and an Intel video chip on the motherboard is...well, not up to the task.

If possible, I would replace the video card with something better (if your PC has slots for it). The processor speed is OK, but not the video.
