try using a different boot drive (I would recommend just installing Linux on a usb just for troubleshooting purposes)

have you tried dropping the cpu from like 5 floor of a mall that like really high

Update bios to latest version

verify that it is supported  for the mainboard

Boot in min config, if succesful, add 1 part at a time 

 

If it;s updated, verified that it is compatible and in min config the issue persists then it's likely a defective cpu.

I've tried the cpu with multiple motherboard...the problem still persists....it boots up then shutoff again...but when i use another cpu, then it boots up normally, I have checked the xeon cpu is compatible with my motherboard...I have also updated the bios with the xeon cpi microcodes...maybe the cpu is dead? Is it possible?

That's the most likely answer yes, replace the CPU.

You have to mod the MB BIOS to include microcode to run the Xeon CPU.

 

LGA 771 Xeon in LGA 775 is not a setup for the faint of heart.
