After I installed new ram in my computer (replaced old 4gb stick with a new 8gb stick) I've experienced random computer shutdowns while playing fallout 4 (it worked perfectly fine before). I've heard that this can happen when the CPU overheats but I've used open hardware monitor while playing and monitored the temp and it never exceeded 55 degrees Celsius before it shuts down. Also when I replaced the ram I used compressed air to get rid of the dust inside the computer case.

Try running Memtest to find out if your RAM is faulty. A quick google search should provide you with a download link and guide.

Is this the memory? 1.65V? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104173
If so...
While the i5-3570's memory controller handles 1.65V memory, that voltage usually is reserved for the higher clocked RAM. The specs usually state 1.5V memory for the 1600 MHz RAM. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCkQFjABahUKEwifnbyPq4vJAhUGXIgKHZHmBtw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.intel.com%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fwww%2Fpublic%2Fus%2Fen%2Fdocuments%2Fdatasheets%2Fcore-i5-processor-memory-datasheet.pdf&usg=AFQjCNHnQYOT-S5dd43oQNsLwgGcuQCmsw&sig2=Q5DDc2RTsJDUXTzsjOqAPA&cad=rja
Try dropping the memory voltage to 1.5V. If that doesn't work, you may have to switch 1600 MHz @ 1.5V instead of

Run another game if you could so you do not have to try and blame hardware. if you play WOW run that please. Any game that can stress your system
If all the other games do not crash your system then your system is fine and fallout 4 is buggy.
