I'd have a look at the cpu temperature (there are apps that do this;glancesshows temp of cpu core(s) and my radeon gpu but its resource-hungry;psensoretc are better suited for it) as if it reaches close to threshold (100oC on some) the system will turn off and there is nothing you can do about it. Some cpus slow (really they pause) as they approach threshold-heat, but they'll still turn off with no warning (at head-threshold)

nope. upgraded cooling is the only thing that will help IF its getting too hot, hence the recommendation to explore this via tools (psensorwhich does exactly this, orglanceswhich is super easy to use even if resource-heavy). note: excessive heat is a guess based on your description; you'll have to confirm the guess is correct or wrong, but note @Ashwin Geet D'Sa had the same reaction (I hadn't see Ashwin's until I'd posted my comment)

See to it that your system is not overheated. Usually overheated system automatically turn off.

I'm afraid your PC setup of a single core 2,8Ghz processor with 2GB RAM is below the minimum requirements for Ubuntu Desktop Edition !
I'd suggest using Lubuntu since that is based on Ubuntu LTS but much more lightweight and has very low minimum requirements.

yes, Lubuntu is using LXDE instead of gnome3, which performs much better on lower system specs, like yours.
– Robert Riedl
Feb 15 at 8:55
Yes there are differences between them. Underneath the Ubuntu core may be the same, but above that they are different, with different libs etc. LXDE is less resource heavy, needs less memory meaning you'll need swap less etc. all of which can add to heat ... The version of Ubuntu (and its DEsktop) makes a difference; if using Unity you can put it in a low-graphics-mode which will help if using a compatible version.. XFCE too is much lighter than Unity (or GNOME)
