Vista problems with new hardware any ideas?

[JimmyKalvin]

A while back I would start my pc and it would work for around 2 mins until it would randomly die. It kept getting quicker and quicker, so I replaced the PSU from 700w to 780w. Didnt fix it. So i bought a new mobo from an Asus p5k deluxe to a new gigabyte ep45-ud3p. Still shutting down. I have vista 64 and I've only got to actual desktop once before it died. I have an Intel Quad Core CPU that might be the case. Any ideas? I've reset the cmos, checked cords, damn near everyhting ,but swaped CPU.

Check your idle temps of your cpu in the bios while it is idle.
If it is very high, say 60 to 75 c then it points to the fact your heat sink is not mounted right on top
of your cpu heat spredder.
