Okay so the PC isn't turning the monitor off. It is actually shutting itself down or locking up...

How about running some software to monitor CPU, HDD, GPU temperatures? HWMonitor can do this all for you.

Since the PC could stop working at any time, you should watch the counters and post the initial temperatures and the last recorded temps.

Maybe your PC is shutting itself down to avoid overheating.

Yes, I think it is possible that it could be the motherboard.

If it doesn't power on at all, most likely the motherboard.

Even if the GPU was bad, the MB should still power on... Same thing if you have a bad CPU. The MB will power on, but you won't POST or see anything on screen.

That only leaves the MB, CPU, or RAM.

If you have more than 1 stick of ram, only install one and then test. If it fails, remove the ram and install the other stick and test again.

I'd use different RAM slots during testing too...

If it still happens, then you can assume the RAM is either good, or multiple sticks are bad.

If you know the RAM is good, then that leaves CPU and MB.

If the CPU wasn't over heating earlier, you can assume it is the motherboard.

That is how I'd test.
