Hi Guys I really need some help

OK I am trying to fix a laptop and it has me totally stumped

First Symptom
Turning itself off
Second Symptom
Blue Screen

At first I thought it was an overheating problem so I stripped the laptop down and cleaned the processor, heat sync and fan

After a rebuilding it then started blue screening and still swiching itself off so I then thought it was RAM so I removed 1 stick and then the other with no difference in results

I then ran eurosoft PC Check and the laptop has been fine running that live from the CD all day with no hardware problems detected so far

I am yet to run the motherboard and HDD checks as these (I thought) seemed the least likely

any suggestions as to
a) what to try next
b) what the hell the probelm is?

all help greatly appreciated and recieved
Thanks in advance BIM :(
