Solution
you shouldn't be mixing RAM kits to get this odd 12GB.
you have either an 8GB + 4GB
or 3x 4GB.
you only want to use memory that came tested & packaged together.

first thing to try;
take out whatever the odd stick(s) of memory is and try it using only a single packaged kit.

Ok, so I had a similar issue and I hope this can solve it. When playing games, if my cpu reached a hot enough temp, 75c, bang... everything would turn off like yours, keyboard and mouse as well. As far as I am aware by buying a cheap used pc, the motherboard is highly likely to be the culprit as I had a cheap motherboard with poor VRM cooling, so my VRMs constantly overheat when my cpu reached 75c. After buying a new cooler the problem went away, and I switched out the mobo, did some tests and I was correct
