First Build-Need help Please!!

Just finished with my first PC and of course I have problems. I turn the power on and all the fans and everything come on but then the thing shuts off after like 6 seconds??? I have doubled checked all the connections everything seems to be fine. What can I do? I am using Thermatake Toughpower 650.
