Hey everyone,

So I have this new build for a friend, and basically the problem is we boot up the computer and then 6 seconds later it powers off.

I've tried replacing the power supply, but I think it may be an issue with the case? There aren't really any places for motherboard standoffs besides the one big one built into the case, it is a very confusing build

Parts:
Case: http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=c_00001579
mobo: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Computer-Corporation-Motherboard-B75A-G43/dp/B00863R2K4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375814376&sr=8-1&keywords=b75a+g43

Any ideas to what it could be? The green light shines on the mobo when it turns on, other than the case short circuiting it i'm not sure what else it could be
 
Did you install the stand off screw into the case? I can see in the pictures that the screw holes are there for the stand off's. I am not sure what you meant by "aren't really any places for motherboard standoffs"? The holes are clearly there in the pic's.
