Will do,thank you very much. If it's not the ram is it a PSU issues?Should i RMA it?BIOS memory test is junk, download memtest86, put in 1 stick at a time and test it.

The logs in the event viewer that come up seem to coincide with when the computer shuts down are Critical, Log Name: System Source: Kernel-Power Event Id:41 Level:Critical task Category:(63) Keywords: (2) OpCode: Info "EventData BugcheckCode 0 BugcheckParameter1 0x0 BugcheckParameter2 0x0 BugcheckParameter3 0x0 BugcheckParameter4 0x0 SleepInProgress false PowerButtonTimestamp 0 " And when testing the ram stick i orignally put them into slots 2 and 4 not 1 and 3 so can i just move any to any slot and they will be fine?I have run a memory test(not sure if that's for the ram) But it came out clean(ran it from the BiOsYou should also have a look in the events viewer (start/control panel/administrative tools/event viewer) to see if anything was reported there.
There's lots of possible failures, sadly. Could be a RAM stick is faulty, or there's something wrong with the power supply. Problem is you can't be sure about the PSU without trying the computer with a second one.
RAM sticks can be tested one by one in the different RAM-slots.

Thanks for such a quick reply, Yes i used all the standoffs that would fit properly in with the motherboard on the case which was i believe,6. Will check the CPU temps now will be back in abit,and i only used the stock thermal paste...Should i buy some more and apply that? And how would i check for a short circuit?Some of the screws have these little copper i guess bulbs around them i thought those were to protect against short-circuits,but i noticed that one or two of the screw holes on the mobo weren't completely surrounded by them. And some of the I/O Connections weren't properly assigned in either my case manual or my motherboards manual for both...mabye i switched some up,But i was told nothing would have started if i got them wrong i just made the best possible educated guesses that i could.It was i believe The motherboard came with these 9 prong connectors that went into the mother board slots after the cases front i/o connectors went into them. (Those are what didn't have a proper slot for each other in either the case or motherboard manuals. Edit:The Cpu runs hot but never above 83 degrees.Sounds like something's short-circuiting after a while. You sure you used the stand-offs when you mounted the mainboard?
And what about the front panel connections? You made sure you connected them in the right fashion to the mainboard?
Could also be an overheating problem -although that hasn't got anything to do with the PC's position, but check CPU temps in the BIOS anyway... maybe you didn't apply enough thermal paste...

I have a HDD but not a power supply how should i choose one? ...Thanks i will keep that in mind about the video cardIf you're not planning on running any applications that take advantage of 8 threads, you might be better off going with an i5 2500 or 2500K and using the money you saved for a GTX 570 or 2GB GTX 560 Ti.
And I'm assuming you've already got an adequate power supply and HDD?
