If it is indeed the CPU it could still shutdown even after you fix the
grease and heatsink.  If so the only way to weight it out is to either
inspect the CPU visually or swap in another cpu (making sure to put a
heatsink or fan on it and testing it.

Hope this helps,

Sunny,

When it goes out and motherboard still has power then do you still have
a
lit power light? Does this bios setup have CPU temp monitoring? If it
does,
monitor the temp and see it goes up a bit before it quits, if it does
try
replacing the thermal grease, make sure the heatsink is properly seated
and
be sure the fan is working properly. Also the ram can cause this, try
moving
or swapping the sticks. Clean the contacts lightly with a soft rubber
eraser.
