First of all, follow the steps in this thread. It involves removing the motherboard from the case, and connecting only the core components. It's the only way to test for a faulty component.

Sounds like a bad PSU, if anything. I have seen some computers with symptoms like that, replaced the PSU, it worked flawlessly. Although, the PSU you are using is very reliable.

Two things are the general cause for quick shut downs on new builds: CPU heatsink not installed properly or a faulty PSU. Check the HSU first.
