I just built a new computer and installed the drivers and for the first couple of hours it was working fine, but now when I turn it on it will boot up and it will stay on the desktop for the first couple of second and then shut off. I am able to start up my computer in safe mode and have no problems, it is only when I try to turn it on normally. Please help.

Sounds like an issue with your Boot Manager. If it would do the same in Safe Mode I would assume it's hardware, but I think in all likelihood your Boot Manager/MBR is corrupted and needs to be repaired.

You can run Startup Repair, that will fix any corrupted components and otherwise fix any outstanding issues you may have. Other than that, if that doesn't work you'll need to re-format the machine. Obviously try Startup Repair first as it has a good chance of retaining your data.

Once you're up and running you may want to consider grabbing a snapshot tool (RollBack Rx) or disk imager (Macrium Reflect Free). Run a backup of your initial state and then keep that as backup.
