Computer keeps shutting down.

Hi all /wave

Everytime i power on my computer it shuts down at what appear's random points within 10-20 seconds of power, all components came recommended by a respected computer shop, i suspect a faulty CPU. but the CPU is being picked up correctly. I have never encounted a faulty CPU before and unaware the tell tail sign's, would a CPU get picked up if faulty?

All fans are spinning, the case is stone cold. Have tryed all the basic things, unplugging everything one-by-one. even leaving nothing but the mobo plugged in with the 2GB RAM

Gygabyte Mobo
Intel P4 3.2Ghz CPU
2GB RAM

Thanks in advance.
