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.
Hello,thank you for the help, I will change the thermal paste of the CPU to another maker,the thermal paste I apply to the CPU cooler was a thermalright almost white colour , now I will apply the one that comes with the CPU cooler i have installed ( coolermaster Hyper 212 " who knows may be
