I just got things together and I turned on the computer. I was getting ready to set the computer to boot from CD so I can install Windows. Then the computer just shut off. Then I turned it on again and once again it just randomly shut off. Some times it shuts off with in 15 seconds of turning it on and some times it shuts off with in a minuet of turning it on. WhatÂ’s going on? I think I have everything connected right. I did not smell a burning smell and I felt around inside and I could not feel anything hot. Not just the computer shuts off the lights and gauges on the case shut off too. Like if I unplugged the computer well it was running. The PSU should be more then enough. ItÂ’s a 525-watt ENERMAX with dual 18A 12v rails.
 
The PSU having a high enough rating doesn't mean it's not the problem. Try using a different PSU to see if your PC still shuts off.....
 
check the temps of the cpu before it shuts off. sounds like a overheating issue or it could be the ram is not set properly.
