New Build Power Issues! HELP!

Hi all,

Just built a new HTPC today (specs below). At first I couldn't get it to boot. I checked all the connections over and over and eventually it did boot. I was installing Windows 7 on it and walked away. I came back in the room and the system was off.

At this point, it either won't boot at all or if I flip the power supply enough and wait it will power on and shut down. I was in the bios and all components are detected.

Do I have a bad power supply? What should I do to test it? I won this power supply from [H] and Seasonic so I can't return it but I can buy a new one if that's what it takes. I've built multiple successful builds without any issues like this. I've even build in this case before.

Got into bios, same thing it just shuts itself off. Bummer. I did check my CPU temps and they were 28C so that's one thing down.
