Download and install Everest Home Edition
Run the programme, click + next to computer then summary
Look on right for display / video adapter
Look at the manufacturer’s site for the suitable drivers for your Operating System

Above, again, run Everest home, click Computer > Sensor and tell us your CPU temperature... This could be your processor overheating and turning off to cool itself down.

What am I supposed to do if my power supply is dying?
I did everything KEITH told me to do but the site offers me 2 different drivers and I am unsure of which one I should download.
Here are the two choices they give me:
--------------------------------------------
1. Graphics Driver [WIN2K_XP14103.EXE] (6037KB) 14.10.3 6/28/2005 Download
Installs drivers for the integrated graphics controller of Intel® chipsets. This is not to be used if the system has a third party graphics card.

OS:Windows* 2000, Windows* XP Home Edition, Windows* XP Media Center Edition, Windows* XP Professional
2. Graphics Driver [WIN2K_XP14103.ZIP] (6093KB) 14.10.3 6/28/2005 Download
Installs drivers for the integrated graphics controller of Intel® chipsets. This file is intended for use by Developers.

Alright, my father thought that maybe the computer was just dirty. So he decided to use the vacuum cleaner hose to suck out all of the dirt that could've possibly been hiding in the back. I didn't think this was a good idea, as I recall reading in another topic that one must use extreme caution when cleaning out the computer, as there is a chance of burning out the fan.
As my father had the vacuum hose back there, he used a flash light and made me turn the computer on. When I did that, he said that the fan wasn't spinning and that it must be burnt out.
So, my question is, if he is correct, how can we repair the problem? Does anyone have a general idea of the cost for a computer fan? And is it difficult to replace it?

Depending on which fan, a case fan is just swapping it out for a new one and quite cheap, CPU and graphic card fans are more involved

On the power supply. At least that is what he thinks. He said it's the first one you see right when you look in the back.

Sounds like the power supply to me, you will need to replace the whole power supply. you need to check the wattage of the psu and buy a new one the same or highier (to be safe)
fitting it yourself shouldn't be a problem if you remember how you took the other one out.

That's exactly what I thought.
How do I check the wattage? And do you have any idea how much it costs?
