Ok, first thing to do would be to replace the CMOS battery. You haven't replaced the PSU yet have you?

No I have not.

Ok, CMOS battery is exchanged for a new one.

EDIT: After new battery computer shut off after about 7 min like normal.

Ok, well I would be ensuring you have the latest updates, everything is connected perfectly and nothing is overheating. Then check the RAM, HDD and other components to ensure they're not faulty. If that checks out then I would replace the PSU.
 

just a noob

I had an issue like this with my old 610 pc power and cooling silencer, took off all my overlocks, tested all the hardware and it checked out fine. Upgraded my psu to something bigger and never had an issue.

Double check your motherboard connectors are FIRMLY in place and you have connected everything properly. I have had a worn out 24 pin motherboard cable (internal metal fatigue) cause this exact issue. Test by moving each cable with your hand until you can repeat the shutdown, then replace that cable.

Nothing is over heating. Anywhere. Everything is running fine. I checked every single cable ( while the computer was on ) see if anything I wiggle on shuts it off. Nothing. So this leads me to think I just spent money on a whole new cooling system for nothing... :mad: Lol i'll just return it and buy a damned PSU like I did in the first place before cancelling it and ordering COOLING SYSTEMS... :mad: Lol :D

That's the first time I've seen someone suggest a lossy format over a lossless one..

All the image links I post from my photobucket accounts are JPG's. I can see all the images clearly. It's pretty bad when you can't read his image.

Well I would be testing the ram etc before anything is purchased. Who told you to get cooling ?

I saw a post of johns a few days back about someones computer booting up and shutting down and he said overheating causes shutdowns. It was an impulse buy XD I already tested the ram too. Just fyi the ram and mobo and cpu and gpu are all brand new.

You mean this post of mine?

Computer shutting off generally means its overheating. Is the heatsink on the cpu correctly?

Notice how I said generally? You need to run tests to verify or take temp readings. If temps are fine then its something else.

Yes I know. I was running 55C max. My impulse buy was more of an excuse because i've wanted new cooling for a while lol.
