    my first guess would be heating problem - open the case and check that the CPU fan is working..

    My second guess is that the RAM is DEAD...

    use this RAM tester to make sure.

    Keep us posted..

    and Please give some system info (hardware specs.. what version of windows..)

    If you can see burn/scorch marks on the components, then usually that indicates either extremely faulty components or a major power surge. Usually, parts fail with no external signs. If you see scorch marks on anything, an exhaustive test of every component is called for.

    If a computer crashes after a few minutes, that almost always indicates a heat problem. Since the CPU is the hottest, then it is the usual culprit. However, check the RAM and motherboard after a few minutes. Something could be blown that is causing other parts to overheat and fail. Make sure there is no dust in the case. Remove and reseat ALL components (mem, CPU, all cards, etc.)
