Try this first. Having problems with a new build? Try this. Make sur the heatsink/fan is securely attached to the cpu, sounds like it is not on right and the computer is shutting down to avoid damage to the cpu..

I want to thank you for your quick response. It has been up for about 10 minutes now and hasn't shut off.....I think the problem was wires and maybe it shorted something to keep shutting it off
