I have had my computer since July and it has worked fine until I tried to turn it on today. I logged in tried to start a game and it shut off. I tried again, but this time it only loaded and then shut off. I went through and completely rebuilt the computer thinking a wire was unplugged and turned it on it lasted a few minutes and shut off again. I tried to load bios and then it turned off again.
Computer turns off after a few minutes even in BIOS

Without more details about the system configuration, my vote defaults to PSU issue too - the most common cause for systems randomly rebooting or failing to boot.
If you have a PSU with the output regulation of a bucking bronco, it can damage or kill components so you should not obstinately try turning a PC that starts randomly shutting down on - every unnecessary extra attempt is one more chance of something going catastrophically wrong.

Since you are using a liquid cooler, you could have a pump issue (stuck, not connected, stalled due to air bubbles, etc.) causing it to overheat. Try checking temperatures, see how high they go before the system shuts down.
