So i started my very first computer build, i got all the parts in the right spot and all the cables connected. The only part that was not connected was my hard drive, because it wasn't in the mail yet. So i decided to see if the computer would post and it did. After a couple of days the hard drive came in. I put the drive in the case and tested to see if it would still turn on and it did. However, after being on for roughly 3-5 minutes the computer abruptly shut off. I quickly checked to see if my power supply was broken by testing the green and black cables on it. The fans spun and it worked. Ive tried unplugging and plugging everything in and even shorting the pins to the power switch and nothing would happen. Any thoughts?

Did you install all the motherboard risers correctly? and did you ensure there only the ones required installed?
