Hello,
recently I bought a new computer here are the details:

Intel Core i5 4460 3.1Ghz (3.3Ghz Turbo) LGA1150 Tray
Arctic Cooling Alpine 11 Rev. 2
Gigabyte GA-B85-HD3 for 1150
Lancool PC-K65B + Seasonic 600W
SAMSUNG DDR3 8GB 1600
Gigabyte GTX970 WF3 4GB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB SATA3
Crucial M500 120GB SSD 2.5 Inch

now, when im turning the computer on,after 3-4 seconds its turned off.
I have no idea why its like that. the motherboard supports my processor and I dont think there is a problem with my power supply. I heard that 600W is enough for the GTX 970. can you guys help me? what can be the problem? thanks. btw sorry for the bad english
 
Computer shutting off generally means its overheating. Is the heatsink on the cpu correctly?

first of all thanks for trying to help me bro.
the heatsink is working kinda fine ..the fans are working .. dude it was the first time i turned on the pc since I bought it. I have no idea what is the problem. maybe the bios in the motherboard is not updated?

So you didn't install the hardware in the pc? There is only 1 bios version for the board so far so no updates available. You need to take it back to who ever built it.

Did you apply the thermal paste?

And that guide isn't just for beep codes.

Was there a piece of plastic on that heatsink contact surface by chance?

This is what i was thinking. or is the fan in the right fan header for CPU

Other possibilities is the CPU 12V power in correctly and other power connections in correctly. i know ive seen some people jam a SLI 8 pin in the 8 pin CPU
