My computer shuts off randomly during games

[cyphered]

When i am playing games on my p.c. such as cod4 and fallout 3 my computer will just turn itself off. it worked up until my brother installed "pc booster" he messed around on that. when i went to play it worked for about 5 minutes then turned off i tried and tried and it did the same thing. even after uninstalling "pc booster" it still didn't work. also when i reboot i some times get the blue screen of death and it takes me a few tries to get it to boot up. is this due to pc booster or something else? p.s it doesn't happen when Im not playing games. it has happened before but started to work again. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Processor:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ (2 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory:
2046MB RAM
Hard Drive:

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Try System Restore to the date/entry for installing PC Booster. This will undo any registry changes made by that ***** program!

In future, never use any of these performance enhancing or "overclocking" programs. This is procisely what can happen.

Repost of the System Restore doesn't work.

you need drivers IMO

What does the BSOD report? You may not need new hardware. Let's try to determine what's causing the BSOD.

Go to Start>Run the type eventvwr.msc then press enter. Then post the errors.

Get a temperature monitoring program I use a free one called core temp, now if your not running over 70c core temperature you are probably ok on your temp. Now then go to your video cards website and update your drivers. Go to your mobo site and repeat. Make sure windows is fully up to date. And if that doesn't work these experts here will help you out .
