When i plug the power cable in, the led on the mobo do light up and the external lcd poster screen comes up welcome and starts a timer (just counting up in time), then when i press the power button on the mobo itself, and then says welcome again and start the timer again (led on the soundcard comes on then off, & the fan controlers ,like it has power for a few seconds, then it turns it self off and the screen says something like power off

if you understand that
My first thoughts:
1- take out all ram, drives, all but 1 video card, even sound; see what happens
2- plug a fan into the cpu_fan header just in case that's causing it to shut off; see what happens
3- switch the BIOS over to the other one via jumper; see what happens

Let us know if there is any change at all when you do those things
