If you had a memory problem, then replaced it, and then two days later have the same problem, you may have a bad motherboard, or a faulty power supply that is not regulating the voltage to the memory boards.
What do you want to do next? I wouldn't replace the memory again unless you're sure you've solved the problem, but is it motherboard, or power supply, or what?
Replacing the motherboard, power supply and memory might solve it, but compare that cost to the cost of a new computer.
Are you able to test the voltage outputs of the power supply, especially the 3.3 v rail?
It sounds like you have some spare parts around, so if it was me, I would take a chance on replacing the power supply with a spare one, and the memory with new boards.
And then cross my fingers when I pushed the power button.
