My god, just install Linux and get it over with if you are not going to upgrade. Connecting a Windows 7 box to the modern internet is a risk for everyone. You are lucky you are not hosting a botnet C&C server on your machine (if you are not already).

Maybe you already know this, but instant power off is normally a sign of hardware trying to protect itself from extreme heat or voltage. A software error would either crash the game or give you a blue screen.
