2nd i suspected my new ram that i installed last week---i uninstalled it and it does the same thing
3rd is suspected the power supply --- so i deplugged a non fonctioning cd rom --- no result the computer stil turned off
4rd i supected the power supply connection --- i deplugged the the p4 connector to the motherboard and then HO the surprise 1 of the 4 little thing in metal was burn but not completely burned..so maybe that the problem.

It sounds like overheating to me. Check your system again, this time with the side off. Check your CPUs HSF to see if it's running.

Atx power supplies turn off if they detect a short. Maybe something fell in when you changed ram, etc. Check for loose screws, and try looking for burned components on the mobo. Loose the scorched power supply for sure.

Sounds like a power supply issue to me.
