That typically indicates a bad component in the system or a short somewhere.

I would agree- however I pulled everything, put in a new MB w/cpu, and
always saw the same failure- after several minutes, the system shut off-
like I pulled the plug. I tried every combination of the components, (both
in and out) I could think of, and wasn't until I moved the components into a
new case with a new ps that everything worked. I could give you the whole
list of what I tried, but it is very long (took about 5 hours of swapping,
trying, replacing, trying, etc.
I suspected the ps as it was only about a month and a half old, and
I know from 20 years as an electronics tech in the Navy that generally, if a
component is going to fail it fails within the first 90 days or so-- unless
it is an age related failure and not a manufacturing defect. I paid 25
bucks at the local computer store to have them check if it was the ps or the
mb- they tested the ps and declared it good. That was what started the
whole mb swap etc.
