Your system is enough but not the best you can have for FS.Although it has to run FS.
More memory and a newer GFX could make things better for you.
Check if you have some programs running on background that probably spend some power sources.This utility can helps you ➡

It doesnt work still. It does the same thing. I Ran MS Flight Sim 2004 before on this computer and it ran perfectly. I think its my crappy computer. Some times it doesnt even turn on.

What can i say... Dont Know Try to take care of it.Clean the unnecessary programs,run a good spyware,defrag your H/D or maybe Format it and try to keep it light and clear.
Also a dust cleaning of your motherboard cpu and heatshink would be good too.
