If you're sure that's not the case, download and install SpeedFan. Open it and run the game. See if your CPU temperature gets too high. 30 to 60 degrees Celsius is okay. If it gets above 60, somewhere around 70 or so, your laptop begins overheating and in your case rebooting to prevent damage.

Looks like you're using a laptop. Either your laptop overheats and restarts, preventing damage to the processor or you just haven't got enough RAM. The minimum requirements need 1GB of RAM and that's how much you have. There's no more RAM for other processes to be handled and your laptop just restarts.

That's probaby the thing i opened SpeedFan and the CPU was already in 68C and my GPU at 67!
I didn't even open the game i opened google to write you this and raised to 73-77 probably is that thanks for the solution :)
By the way can you give me some tips about how to cool it,not manually but any program to control my fan or something.
Another thing do you recommend any circuit racing games like that i really want one!

My old laptop I use just for Internet access used to get really hot as well. It was a couple of years ago, I couldn't open it myself, so I gave it to a friend. Later that day, when he opened it up to clean it, it was one HUGE mess in there. It was full of dust, the fan almost couldn't spin. Yours could be a lot dirty as well, if it is, clean it inside and it's going to work faster once you're done, also won't get so much hot. I recommend you buying a cooling pad or an external fan. You usually put those underneath the laptop, connect them to the laptop with USB and they cool it down, while you game or do whatever you're doing.

I believe you can control the speed of your fans from SpeedFan, either raise it up and make them spin fast the whole time, or check "Automatic fan speed" - this is going to control your fans' speed by itself.

For racing games, I really enjoy playing Assetto Corsa. Also, Need for Speed series is just classic. In early 2018, The Crew 2 is being released, so watch out for that too.

The dust doesn't slow down PC directly. It stops the fans from working correctly, the PC heats up and it slows down because of the temperature.

I believe changing game language is different for each game. This is what I found: https://steamcommunity.com/app/8790/discussions/0/34093781629810177/

Did you try this?

Update drivers? Try -fullwindow, -refresh 60? Or just play it in Fullscreen (Borderless) if it has that option. It's still fullscreen.
