Could My Motherboard or RAM Be Causing OS Corruption?

After cleaning my CPU Fan because it was getting overheated which I noticed after my power blacked out and the BIOS screen pointed out when I rebooted, I had checked my CPU temperature again and then turned off my computer mid boot to reattach a fan that had been taken off to reach the fan's power 'cord'. I started Windows 8 again as always and started to receive BOSDs, it went from IRQ Less Or Not Equal to Driver Corrupted Expool and I always encountered this after a few more boots to make absolutely sure it wasn't just temporary. I inserted my Windows 8 CD and I can proclaim the farthest I've made with it after about an hour or two of trying is that it failed to install. A few more trial and error, I picked up Windows 10 and tried to install it to my old Hard Drive, same problem with this or that file being corrupted that was essential to the booting process in System32. I bought a new hard drive and tried with both the old stick of Windows 10 I bought and then traded that in because I believed it was corrupted. No matter the fact, after hours, I installed Windows 10 and got my computer the drivers from NVIDIA and such only for the same BOSDs from the first time to appear and eventually just telling me that individual DLLs for the drivers were either missing or corrupt. A friend of mine who works as a Computer Hardware Engineer and has dealed with situations similar once or twice had told me that it was either RAM or the Motherboard. I've been dealing with this for 2 days now and I really do hope that I will fix the problem more permanately than before but I request the expertise to do it, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you.

You can't really fix a motherboard, you replace it. Ditto with RAM. We can try to narrow down what part is damaged, but sounds to me like something is dead.
