If it's memory problems, there's testing software.
If you have a CD writing drive;

(Free download on the left - you may need software which can burn ISO images to disc correctly though)

If the bolded text is the case, I personally am a fan of burnatonce.

http://www.burnatonce.net

It doesn't seem to be developed anymore, but it's still a good program. It might take a bit of fighting with in Vista, but other than that, it's a decent ISO burning program (I also use it for making ISOs [I used to use a Virtual CD-ROM drive deal])
Congratulations!

Ooh, cool, I'll have to take that...
Last time I needed to do that, I ended up having to sift through a load of dev tools on my Windows disk and find a command-line thing. That looks much more useful.

ps....just to help rule out anything, it was a "pc in a box" purchase originally and only put together for this purpose, so it's not a used PC.

I just left the computer idling starting from 11:48am and it shut down at 12:04pm,
but when I turn it on and go to a program, it shuts down immediately.
Any suggestions?
