make sure you connected the 24 pin power to the motherboard. The 6/8 pin to the motherboard and the CPU cooler fan is connected plus I believe you have to plug in sata power to that cooler for it to work.

it didnt come with any sata power connections or what ever, all the cables that are with is the 3 pin for the cpu cooler and 2 4 pins for the fans that are on the radiator

Are they all plugged in? Because your symptom sounds like the CPU is not being cooled properly and shuts down.

could be you didnt seat the heatsink properly on the cpu and your temps are high thus prompting the shutdown. check that the heatsink is seated firmly on the cpu.

i removed the heatsink of the cpu to see if it made contact yes it does, the thermal paste had been smudget over from the contact of the heatsink. all the pins are connected.
