Could be the PSU failing, the cpu shut down temp, memory error, not to mention quite a few other things.

Memtest & checking the cpu temp would be the fastest thing to check out.

Reseat the vid card.

Process of elimination is the only way, pointless asking people what they think it is when you've done little to eliminate what it is not, no offense meant by that, but you need to narrow it down a little.
 
If you have 2x sticks of memory then id try 1x stick at a time, and also test the memory for errors with memtest, also try another PSU if you can. :)
 
I had a graphics card go on me(6800gt flashed to an ultra), computer did the same. I think my mate booted it in safe mode then uninstalled the graphics card drivers and booted it normally, the screen appeared again. I re-installed graphics drivers, blank screen again so I knew it was the graphics card at fault.
