Sounds like either a problem with RAM or it is overheating.


Run the Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode to see if it detects any hardware problems.


1. Reseat and/or replace the RAM modules, as per How to remove or install memory


2. Have the iMac checked and cleaned. If it is full of dust or has a bad fan, it will not cool properly and shut down.
