New to game - keeps shutting off/crash
32 bit windows? That could cause some memory limit issues, particularly if with the vram.
Though you will need to show us your crash report to get any help.

Information:
If you have more than 3 Gig of RAM always install the 64 bit version of Windows. I suggest you wipe your drive and install Windows 7 64 bit.
You do know that you are unable to use all of that RAM? You’re running a 32-bit OS that can’t even manage that much RAM.
