Help with laptop Freezing

Hello, please help me.
My laptop always freezes during a game (every game - even the old ones) and Google Earth. The laptop freezes and restarts (and the processor gets hot) whenever I play a game. Last time it crashed my HD after freezing and shuting down. I got a new HD and OS but the problem still persists, I even tried installing a game in my external HD, but that didn't help. My laptop specs are: Processor - Celeron(R) 2.40 (2.39 Ghz) RAM - 192MB HD - 40GB

I only see that your ram needs to be updated and celeron processors are terrible for games are the game requirements out of reach? if not see if you can update the ram. also if u r playing games on that laptop then i would see if your video chip or card is compatable
