When i first start my pc it will just turn on then shut off instantly. Then I reset the bios by removing CMOS batt and shorting its pin. Then after a few try it will boot just like it doesn't have a problem.

my build
Processor: Core i5 2400
Mobo: Msi H61m p31/w8
Ram: Hyper Fury X 4gb
Psu: Cooler Master Thunder 620watts

I guess the problem is the motherboard.
anyone can help me??
 
Solution
i would replace the battery, it sounds like the bios keeps loosing memory. this also usually happens when new hardware is installed while the system is off. do you get a post beep right before it shuts off?
This could be a lot of different things. Faulty psu, ram, cpu, videocard, harddrive, motherboard, etc. Maybe even a dead cmos battery. Also it could be a a cable/cpu/videocard/other component somewhere not properly inserted in the motherboard.

I dont have yet a system speaker.
When it stays on i manage to do everything without any problem and even if i restart my pc it still works flawlessly.
Also my videocard is not working i got no signal on monitor when i plugged it in. So now I'm using onboard graphics.

I'll try to replace the CMOS battery and buy a speaker
