JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

If that came into my shop, the very first thing I'd check is that RAM. It gets good reviews for being cheap, not for being reliable.

If your computer overheats, it shuts off. Anything short of that is in no way hot enough to damage anything, save for maybe a nice soft cheese.

Check the warranty on the RAM and get it replaced. Or buy some from OWC and call it a day.
