Help. Please?

I'm having trouble with my first build. All the hardware is installed inside my case. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16811146029). Thing is, when I boot up, it runs for a minute, and then shuts off. I checked all the cables, wires, balhalhbabla.. everything seems to be okay. I tried putting in the Vista disc [64 bit] in my drive, in order to boot off of it, and it seemed fine at first. 'said the files were being downloaded. Shortly after, the computer shut off again.

I'm using an EVGA nForce 780i mobo, and a 1000w Cooler Master PSU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ooler%2bmaster)

If you have any idea what MIGHT be going on, please let me know. Sucks to be in BS already during my first build. Although I expected it. If you need to know about any more hardware, let me know.

Make sure it's out of the case.

See if it will still just turn itself off. If it does, then post back.

Make sure the heatsink is installed fully.
