ok so i just got this thing built, hooked it up to the monitor, hit the power button and voila, it turns on. everything is working great. I go through a few of the bio's settings, and about three minutes after i hit the power switch to turn it on, the computer just suddenly dies. I turn it back on again, and it does the same thing, except in about a minute. Try it again, and now it just turns on for a couple of seconds. What should i try to do to find the problem?

specs are-
e6600
asus p5w-dh deluxe
2x2gb sticks of crucial ballistix pc2-8000
wd sata2 hd, 250gb
a liteon dvd-rw
all powered by a 600watt ocz psu

in a lian li case
