Please look on the case of the PC, fron back & sides. There should be a model number. (There is no such number you posted, Packard Bell UTOW CO20).

First things first: "work" in giving this away has dodged the "responsible disposal" bullet. Drivers for this unit are probably limited to windows 98 or earlier, as the last Packard-Bell was produced in that era. Drivers for sound in particular were Packard-Bell only, and since they aren't around any more unless you can get your hands on the original installation CD you're out of luck to make the existing soundcard work. You do howrever have the option to install a newer soundcard, that should fix that issue. As for the shutting down, make sure the heatsink has good thermal contact with the processor as it sounds like the processor may be overheating. If there's a fan make sure it is running.

You've got a challenge if you want to see it all work, have fun.

You should be able to get the info. by looking at System information. In windows, go to Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Information. Next, click on + sign by "Components", the + sign by "Storage" and finally click "Disks". The info. shows up in the right window pane. For the rpm speed, you may copy the Model No. that is listed there and search Google to find out drive speed.
