You will need to give me some info. What system are you running, whats the game and does it turn itself off straight away or freeze first?
With the limited info you have given me I would suggest checking inside the case and making sure that all fans are working inside.
That would be the main CPU fan, the Northbridge fan and if you have a fan on your graphics card check that out too.
A freeze in a game that happens roughly ten minutes in and at random points usually means the computer is overheating so it could be a busted fan.
If it is resetting the computer at the EXACT same place in the game every time then it will be software related.
Need more info to do you one better than that.

Hmm, Vaio's are nice PC's. I have a Vaio Laptop, never gives me any problems.
Is it the first AOE game? There are three of them now and a number of expansions. accurate information is whats needed.
Ok, well a reboot is quite a serious bug, usually reboots are caused by graphics driver problems.
Patch the game to the latest version. Find the official site and do that first. Then go and update your Graphics card drivers.
If you have an Nvidia card go here: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
If you have an ATI card go here: http://www.ati.com/
Once that is done try again, if the problem persists then we can try the next level of expertise.

You do realise that a 2.5gb clock speed is the clock speed or thereabouts of the AMD64 3600+ that coupled with a decent graphics card can run F.E.A.R on max settings with no slowdown.
You are talking about the CPU grade not the clock speed. So AOE would suck on a 2500 grade CPU but the clock speed doesn't correlate to the speed of the processor, not anymore anyway.
Sorry, I'm pedantic about such things, I knew what you meant.

The next time it shuts down, just be all like, "You stupid fucking bitch! Your game is crashing the computer, cunt!"
She'll be too shocked to do anything!
