Ram would likely bsod, it would not completely loose power like that.

Check powerbar/outlet/cable also.

Personally I'd disassemble then rebuild to ensure no shorts in the case.
Then see if it persists,if so we test hardware.

Temps can also cause it to just shut off.

indeed though when dissembling I'm sure he has to clean it,.
I just assume people check temps before seeking help.

if your case is dusty, try dusting it including inside the power supply. it is not unheard of that dust build up in psu can cause it to power down.

He stated he changed the psu.
Unless his cpu's is getting to like 90/100 or w/e the bios shuts down at it should not just be shutting off.
