Ill repeat also

Make certain the cpu heat sink is properly seated on the cpu !

Ive had to trouble shoot a very flakey machine that acted exactly as you describe and it turned out the heat sink was not precisly seated on the cpu. The cpu quickly overheated and shut the system down. Sometimes in seconds sometimes a little bit longer.

It was very hard to figure out as all other connections were in order.
