Just built a new pc and it powers up for 10 seconds then shuts down. It just repeats this cycle until i press it off. Everything seems to be in the right place. Motherboard is fitted nicely and the cpu cooler has fitted fine onto the cpu. Power SW, Power LEDs, Reset,...etc... all on the right pin.



Specs:

Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H motherboard
Intel i5 3570K processor
Zalman Z9 mid tower case
Corsair DD3 Dominator ram 8gb
Seasonic 750 Watt M12II Bronze ATX PSU Power Supply
Intel Socket LGA 1155 CPU cooler heatsink with fan OEM
1 TB Barracuda HDD
SATA HD DVD Bluray rewriter

It stopped booting up so i took out the battery and put it back in. It then booted up but repeated this cycle.

I hope it's not the cpu. It's the motherboard or the cpu i think. This psu should power everything up with no problems. Do i need to update the bios to support this cpu? I'm guessing i do with this motherboard. If it doesnt the cpu is probably dead.

Do all the fans spin properly for that amount of time?

Have you tried it with only 1 stick of ram? May be a dimm slot issue.

I have tried each stick of ram and tried narrowing it down to one and it still has the same problem. It isn't a DIMM slot.

The cpu fan spins briefly then stops and the big fan at the back of the case keeps spinning but then stops after 10 seconds and repeats the cycle. The fan in the front does not spin at all when connect to sysfan 1. Lights come on the case and mouse.
