When I turn on my newly built PC, it turns off after about 25-30 seconds and then repeats the process. This is my first build and I am really pissed that it doesn’t work. I would greatly appreciate if someone would suggest anything to me.

Secondly the PC powers on fine and doesn’t turn off when you unplug the power cord to the CPU.

Lastly I first hooked up all my power cables to my PC parts wrongly. Is it a possibility that the wrong cables screwed up my PC parts and that is what is causing the boot loop. I would greatly appreciate if someone would give me some device. Thanks!

What cables did you hook up wrong?

Your issues could be something is damaged, but the symptoms sound like there might be a grounding issue (the metal stand-offs below the motherboard holes).

Not to sound rude, but since you didn't even address either of my questions, it might be a good idea to take it to a local PC repair shop and let them figure out what the issue is. It sounds like you don't know much about building PCs, and it really could be your CPU, RAM, motherboard, or power supply, and it will be about impossible to blindly help you over the web.

If you think you can handle it, you can pull your components out of the case and "breadbox or breadboard it", and see if you can isolate the problem.
