It may just be that one of the components that you have installed is not properly located.
This could be memory, system fan, video card etc. In most instances like the one you suggest, the video card isn't properly seated and the sytem will crash after basic load has completed.
This process should narrow down the search to locate the problem.
Try stripping off everything, then install CPU + Fan, one Memory module, and Video Card [if its a plug in device and not located on the board]. Connect PSU to board and the Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor. Test that it is stable.
If it isn't change over the one memory module for another.
Power off and add Floppy Drive, test.
repeat the above, adding in one device at a time.
If you find that your 'shutdown' occurs at the first step, go back to the shop and ask for help.
If it shutsdown after the addition of a particular device, then you've located the casue and can go and get that specific device replaced.
Also, some motherboards, such as MSI have a LED status indicator either on the board or plug in. Should you have this faciltiy, check the staus display against the trouble shooting guide.
