Have you checked the temperatures?

It could well be your powersupply. I doubt it's your RAM, as if it were faulty you're more than likely to BSOD.

it wouldnt shut off instantly if it was the temperature surelly... it would take a few minute to atleast heat up

Well.. yeah. But in your op you just said it happened randomly, not the instant you opened a game on high.

i guess sometimes it just turns off randomly this is true...

Open to suggestions on how i might test my powersupply unit...
