Yeah, XTOTHEL is right...
Before I knew anything about computers (around the time the "worm" virus was around), I had gone to Best Buy, Circuit City, and even Fry's. Many techs say stuff like that. My brother worked at all three and Central Computers and Desert Storm (all have techs), and he was told if he didn't know about computers just trouble shoot and hope to fix it.
For all you know they might be giving you faulty info (again, because XTOTHEL is right, motherboards don't spin and if it was your RAM, it wouldn't boot up at all)
In my opinion, it might be your hard-drive. Laptops usually over heat to around 80 degrees. By the sound of it, it seems like you also turn on/off your laptop a lot. It is recommended that you don't always turn it on/off to make sure your hard drive lasts. Everytime you turn it on/off you grind the silicon disk a little bit more add that with the 80 degrees heat emitting from your hard drive....It's just my guess though, because I have been through that situation many times before...
Second of all...try not to touch your components while your laptop is on. My cousin did that >_>...the static from his hand short-circuted his whole set-up...be careful lol...
