my computer keeps shutting down, sometimes it's after a couple of hours, and other times, it can be a couple of minutes. i replaced the motherboard, so i ruled that one out. i am going to change the powersupply and the video card cause i think it might be overheating, but i am starting to think it's my RAM, because my first set of RAM was what burned my motherboard, and 1 of them was said to be still functional... so i kept it...any help is greatly appreciated..

Test the RAM with goldmemory: http://www.goldmemory.cz/ or memtest86: http://www.memtest86.com/.
If the components are too hot the the touch then it's probably overheating a little too much and a cooling upgrade could be the solution.
