It's an older machine, but when my brother uses Roblox on this PC for a while, it often shuts down right away or shows a black screen instantly. You still need to restart it with the power button after a bit. I'm not upgrading, but I'd appreciate any help or ideas for fixing it, since this old setup is meant for casual games. Specs: A6 5400k, 4GB RAM, 500GB SSD, 700W PSU (generic brand, unsure if it's real).

Possible issues include: overheating—last time the CPU was cleaned and the cooler inspected, this would be my initial thought. PSU failure—this has been discussed elsewhere, but even a 200W power supply should easily manage an A6 unit unless the system is severely outdated. Insufficient RAM—on Windows 10, the operating system consumes nearly 4GB of memory, leaving minimal physical space, which may lead to crashes or a complete freeze.
