Comment:
I just put together the following system: Intel Core 2 Duo 6750 Intel Mobo w/ P35 chipset 4GB DDR2-667 WD 500GB HDD VisionTek Radeon HD 3850 500 Watt Power Supply
Problem: The computer is turning off after 2-3 mins of working. It started happening right after i changed the RAM from single channel to dual channel by moving one of the sticks into a different DIMM slot (i have 4 slots and I use two 2GB sticks). It was working fine earlier, when i installed os, drivers, a few games. Any ideas of what it could possibly be?
Try reseating Ram and making sure you are putting it into the right dual channel slots normally the same slot in both grouped so either both to left hand side or both to right hand side. So you have Ram space then Ram space. As long as this is how your mobo supports dual channel. Check you haven't dislodged or broke any other parts in your case? 02coled

Check particularly you haven't dislodged the CPU fan lead. Turning of after a couple of minutes is indicative of an overheating CPU which will happen very quickly if the CPU fan is not working.
