Shuts Down After A Few Minutes Of Warming Up

What do you think is causing my motherboard to shut down and the power button blinks. This occurs serveral minutes after the system has been running then suddenly the system shuts down, the power button blinks and even if I hold the power button down it will not stop blinking but if I pull the power cord for ten seconds and then try to power the system up she will turn back on and later give me the same shut down problem.

I think there could be a several problems
  • 1st at all check all your cables (power & data ) if it  fit well ( push it even if U don't feel any movement) 
  •  Check your temperature on CPU,GPU,HDD & NB chipset (with etc. HWMonitor ). To ensure that U don't fry Your components. IF U DO replace the coolers with better ones
  •  last but not least try to play a bit with Setup ( BIOS ). Maybe there's a little mistake that causes the sys shutdown
