It's more likely that the CPU is overheating. Maybe the heatsink was moved slightly as you were installing the new components and is no longer properly cooling the CPU. Get yourself a temp monitor (Everest, coretemp, realtemp) and post your temps, especially note what it is just before it shuts down. Also what model of CPU is it?
