I have:
Motherboard: DG35EC
Processor: Intel Dual Core E2180 , 2.00 GHz
Hard disk: 500 GB – ST3500418AS
RAM: 1 GB
For 2 weeks now, I am facing this strange issue. Whenever I run some heavy programs simultaneously computer suddenly turns off after some time. For example, before posting this question, I was running Opera with many tabs open and started installing huge software. While working in opera, I noticed that the system is getting heavy utilization due that installation. Before the installation completes, it turned off suddenly.
I cannot just do a single task at a time, but after failing installation third time, I have a plan to run it after closing all other programs.

It sounds like your CPU is overheating and shutting down automatically to avoid damage.
I would check the airflow in your computer's case - make sure that cables are not restricting it. Make sure that the CPU cooler is not clogged up with dust and make sure that it is properly seated on the CPU.
