I'll turn on my computer and after a while it will shut down, then it will turn right back on, if I turn it on on safe mode it won't shut down. I formated my computer hoping that it would work, it doesn't turn off as fast now, but it still does.

Then I cleaned out the heatsink and PSU, but it still turns off. It tends to turn off when I have the internet running. Everything is also running slow. Could it be that my CPU or my RAM cards are damaged?

Just found out that one or more of my RAM cards are bad. Will make another post if it works/doesnt work.

Thanks
