From your information it seems that there is some problem in your Sim card and that's why your mobile gets switch off when you turn on it with Sim card. Your Sim card may be get damaged or get corrupted and for this reason your mobile does not recognize it. Have you tried another Sim card? If not, then try to insert another Sim card in your mobile and check whether you are getting same problem or not.

From your information it seems that you are using fairly old type of SIM card in your N95 and that's why you are getting this problem. Your mobile can only able to support new type of Sim cards like USIM. For this reason your mobile does not support your old Sim card and to prevent any damage to mobile it automatically gets switch off. In this case you have to change that old Sim card with new one. Contact your mobile's service provider to do this.
