My Ram over heats and shuts down the computer

You can get something like this for cooling memory: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsair-cmxaf2-airflow-f...

I've personally not heard of a computer shutting down from overheating / bad RAM before - I think you'd be more likely to get a BSOD if this was the issue. Computers do shutdown to protect themselves from an overheating CPU. What temperatures are you reaching there, when it's at 100%? It could be that whatever application your company is running on this machine is too much for its CPU.

Reset the BIOS to defaults, or at the very least make sure nothing is being overvolted (at least no more than would be needed to account for vDroop).
