No, in fact, several indicators are pointing to something else than RAM.
It's unusual for the PC to just shutdown during memtest. If it was bad memory memtest will just report errors, but the PC will almost always keep running.
You say the maximum temperature for your graphics card is 105C (which seems correct according to Google), and you have seen it report up to 104C? That's obviously way too high, and seems to me you
are hitting the max temp. You'll probably never see it say 105 because that's the temperature when it will immediately shut down.
Except for shutting down, did you see memtest report any actual errors? If not I would forget the idea of RAM being the issue completely for now and focus on getting your GPU temprature down.
Is it overclocked in any way? Badly applied heatsink? Sure fans are spinning?
