Last night I put my new computer together and was estatic to see it booting after all of that hard work. However, I soon realized that every time I turned it on, it shut off after 10-30 seconds. I have no idea why this is happening...can anyone help me? I've got an Intel processor, the case fan of which has one of those snapping things that's not snapping in all of the way. Could that be the problem?
 
At this point, I am fairly confident that the problem lies in my HSF. I had problems snapping it into the mobo, and I think a loose snap might be causing the problem from some of the research I've done. I'm also going to pick up some Arctic Silver and see what happens.
