Sounds like something in your computer is overheating.
The graphics in poe are far from optimal right now and cause heavy load on your system.

My old computer (got a new one this week) used to climb to over 90°C when playing poe - and eventually shut down too. The main problem were the shadows. TURN_THEM_OFF!

Additionally I suggest you download CPUID HWMonitor and have a look a the max temperatures when you play. If they exceed 75-80°C you should tune your graphics down some more.

If nothing helps, run PoE on a lower resolution.
That way I could run PoE even on my very old computer without problems (looks blurry though).

either overheat or running out of memmory.

tell us your computer spec's + how old is your computer?

If you need any help at computers, or game related, feel free to ask!

If you believe it's not a overheating issue, i would check the power supply. It may have some issues. Try a different one, maybe of bigger wattage if u have the possibility.
Today 6th June 2012 ive download the game and my pc is keep shuting down .......What the Hell :( !!!!!!!!

I have been exploring this issue as it is happening to me as well. I checked the system requirements page at: https://www.pathofexile.com/faq#q14

According to this, my system should be able to run The Awakening without trouble. I decided to get a second opinion.

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/path-of-exile-the-awakening/12635/?p=a

System requirements lab lists a 4 GB ram requirement and shows me to have a mere 3.6 GB. The suggest ram requirement in the FAQ referenced earlier states 2 GB to be sufficient.

I will email support to see if they have a fix for this. There are enough people experiencing this issue that it would seem that either the minimum requirements are understated or there is a deeper problem.
I had the same problem.

Every other game worked perfectly, but only Path of Exile 1 caused my PC to shut down after several minutes.

I changed every available setting and nothing helped.

Eventually, I ran a few stress tests with AIDA64, and my PC shut down almost immediately during the FPU stress test.

I realized the issue was with my CPU cooling (since the FPU test heavily stresses the CPU). I replaced the CPU fan, and that completely fixed the problem.

my pc is:

os: windows 11
CPU: AMD 5950X
GPU 4090
