    I would say the problem is your weak display card with only 64mb memory. It simply runs out of memory and makes your computer to restart.

    One possibility might be broken fan or something else on your display card making it overheat and reboot the comp.

    Solution: Buy a decent display card with at least 128-256mb memory minimum.

    Even that the client download says minimum requirement for display to be 32mb, you will have to put all settings to lowest possible to have any chance of having a playable game and even with everything set to minimum, i doubt its playable.

    The GeForce 2 card is a bit on the low side. Updating your drivers may help, as may reducing Water quality and turning Soften and Sharpen off.

    Click the System button (gray button in the bottom right corner with a brown-red X shape on it), then click the Quit button (gray button with a green circle-with-slash).

    Everytime you are in citys? Well apart from buying a ew graphicscard you could try switching on the best performance button and see if that helps.

    The shutdowns after playing 20-30 mins sound extremely like an overheating problem. Get a can of compressed air and blow out your comp's interior.

    Getting updated drivers won't hurt (XP-32-bit, XP-64-bit), but heat or power would probably be the best bet. Make sure that your graphics card's heatsink isn't covered in dust, and that none of the fans are obstructed or disconnected.
