Unless you are highly trained in refrigeration, you shouldn't be adding refrigerant to a system. The system requires a very specific weight of charge and overcharging can destroy the whole system very quickly. There is no way to know how much refrigerant is in the system without totally recovering all of it, vacuuming the system and recharging with the proper weighed charge.
Your compressor has an RPM sensor in it and the system will shut down for any number of reasons, including a bad compressor.
I suggest you bring this to a trained specialist for diagnosis.
