System Shut Off

I just built my new system, and the computer starts up and i can enter the bios, but approximately 20 seconds after it starts a message flashes on the screen saying powersave mode, then the computer shuts off, and i have to unplug the computer in order to restart it, i can't figure out whats wrong, everything seems like its hooked up right.

You probabaly get on the timer You need to go into control panel and double click on power management and see if you have it to turn off within a specific time if you have have it on timer it will completely shutdown your system.
