If the system overheated to the point that components were damaged, then the whole system is now suspect. Replacing the motherboard (vs. getting a new system) is probably worth a shot, but I'd balance any cost savings against the chance that either a) it won't solve the problem; and/or, b) other components are also at or near failure (and their symptoms may be masked by the RAM issue).

The only fix for a bad memory socket is a replacement system board.
