When you say it shuts down, do you mean the power goes off at that point, or the boot process stops? Does the front power switch blink or beep any power-on code while on? If the power goes off and there's no code, I'd start looking at the psu. If the power stays on...have you gone down to one stick of memory? If there's code, follow up. I had a memory code in one of mine that ended up being the logic board. I used a hair dryer on the memory slots: the temporary expansion of the slots let it boot for about 10 minutes.
