My computer keeps turning off?
Okay so I just built my own PC for the first time, and powered it up to run BIOS and get going on the software... It gives me the typical one beep, and starts to go, and then I can get as far as the press DEL to get to Bios, and then my computer shuts off.. so is it the processor? is it heating up to fast? etc... what would you guys out there suggest, I've already checked over my connections to make sure everything 's working, I have a bunch of fans, which all start running when it turns on but not one for the CPU though. People have recommended that I install this, or check that when it comes to software, but here's the thing, I can't access anything software wise. It just starts up, barely gets running, and then turns off. So please don't tell me to check something that involves a monitor. So what should I do from here.?

"I have a bunch of fans, which all start running when it turns on but not one for the CPU though".
WHAT !!!! I presume that you have a heatsink on the CPU and it needs a fan, or the CPU will run for 30 secs overheat, and turn its self off. If that is the pictire, the solution is simple. Get a good heatsink and Fan. The good news is that it all seems good, apart from that, the beep is a pass mark for the POST, Pre Operating System Test. That checks your Memory CPU and Motherboard power supply

it may actually be a CPU fan malfunction... If the CPU fan isn't at finished power, or isn't operating in any respect, the computer will close off all of surprising. it could be an overheating problem besides (with regard to the above), make positive the computer isn't crammed right into a nook or placed next to a warmth source.

well, i would get that CPU fan working first, those things can get to 90 degrees celcius (200 and something Fahrenheit). That is a potential safety hazard, and could be the reason the computer does not work. Take it to a technician if you cant get it working.

Sounds like your cpu is getting to hot. Make sure your fan is working right.
If that is not it. Make sure everything in the bios is set correctly.
