Computer runs for 5 seconds and shuts down

OK, I have a computer that is shutting down a few seconds after turning it on. I have tested with my personal PSU and same thing happens. My guess is a bad mobo. What else could it be?

I have it built in a table so there isn't any shorts caused by anything in the case.

THANKS

When I've connected my new pc components I had the same problem. The cause was wrongly connected USB cable on the board.

Also, it once happened when processor cooler wasn't implemented properly.

I'd suggest you to remove every hardware component in the box and firmly inserting it back for a start.

Thanks N1K and Kel. I will check the RAM. I don't think it would be the CPU overheating because the computer was setting for weeks before I started to troubleshoot, but I will pull it apart and rethermo. it etc. Thanks for the help, hopefully it will be something cheap since I have no ideal how much they are willing to spend to fix it.

I cleaned the board up, thermo. the CPU but it back together. Now it will run for a few minutes and then cut off, after that it will not run again. As it tries to boot again the screen turns all white with red etc. lines and cuts off.
