Well the answer is in ur own question, ur PC is shutting down to prevent it from overheating, the 4200 is a very old processor, not sure if it can keep up with games such as mirror's edge, sure the card has enough grunt to run-it, but the bottleneck is ur CPU.

Either u need to buy a new CPU (preferably a phenom) if it needs to last u a while, or buy a better cooling kit, for ur CPU, and seriously overclock that!!!

But seriously though, ur CPU is shutting down to prevent futher damage

yea, overheating might be the main problem but it also might be you PSU. It may not be enough to support your video card. I don't use nvidea cards but i remember hearing that the 8000 series eat a lot of power.

If you are dont over clock it!

thanks very very much to all firend

problem was cpu fan not spinnig fast enough i buy new fan now my pc working fine

thanks again guys.
