I've heard of motherboards coming with the clear cmos jumper in the clear position. Accidently of course, but they are put on by people, and people make mistakes. I've also heard that some computers will start up and shut off right away when the cmos jumper is in the clear position.

The cpu could be getting up to the temperature where the motherboard shuts the computer down within those 3 seconds.
