Could be connection problems. Try re-connecting the ddr chip or connect to another slot.

Does it happen every hour or so? as in after a specific period of using?

no from what my friend said, should be hardware problem. what i intend to do is remove my ddr chip and yes before they shutdown it will show a blue screen with tons of word. i assume should be overload.

alright, you may have a RAM clash, which means that you are using 2 different kinds of ram which arent compatible with each other. or more likely, one of the gold connectors on your CPU has melted to a point that there is very little contact between it and once your cpu reaches a certain temperature, it would melt and disconnect from each other, but would reconnect after awhile. this may explain why the computer is shutting down after a stipulated period. hope this helps

Note down the error when it gives you the blue screen, it would help a lot in troubleshooting.

As what mayi have said, note down the codes, with the capitalised words as well. Don't need to copy down the 2 or 3 paragraphs about "if this is the first time you encountered this screen blah blah"
