Start-up problem with old PC

[KaneStatton]

My mum is useing one of our old Pc's until she gets a new laptop.
It has been powering off after around 10 mins of use, so i cleaned the fans a bit as i thought it was due to overheating.
It succesfully powered on for around an hour until it powered off again so i turned the comp back on and it came up with the error:
Windows could not start
Load needed DLLs for kernel

Anyone know a solution to this?

Thanks Kane

I would recommend trying to run a memory test on the memory. Try running memtest86 or if you have 2 sticks of memory in the PC try using one at a time as one may be faulty.
