Another new PC builder

I am putting my first PC together

It is comprised of:

Abit AB9 Pro Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300

2 MG DDR2 1.8v 5-5-5-15

GeForce 7200 GS GV-NX72G512P1

Rosewill Stalion 400W PSU

Etc

I am still waiting on the CD/DVD drive to instal the Operating system, but I thought I would try to update the bios, but the computer shuts down automatically after about 30-45 seconds. It looks like all the POSTs pass. So I am trying to figure out why it shuts down. If I try to restart immediately it shuts down faster. If I wait 5 min before turning it on again it will go for 30-45 seconds again.

Any ideas?

Take the motherboard out of the case for this.

Dump the psu as well it is not recommended.. Choose one from this list.. It can also be a source of your problems...
