What cooler are you using?
Where are you monitoring the temperatures and what are temperatures getting up to?

Are you sure it's properly connected with an appropriate amount of thermal paste?
This still sounds initially as though the cooler is not seated correctly.

just a normal heat sink its an old machine its the one where the clasp goes throgh the heat sink and it wont stay on long enough to get temps and from what i can see its seated firmly?

What temperatures can you read in the BIOS?
I'm just verifying that it is actually temperatures causing the shutdown.

 

[marcoos]

hang on i try and have a look if it stays on long enough

 

[marcoos]

it wont stay on long enogh as soon as i turn it on the fan speeds up then it shuts down

Replace the broken stock fan mount/backplate. of if you have room in the case, replace the cooler with one that uses it's own mounting mechanism. You missed the Hyper 212 LED for $15 sale but its currently $20 on newegg after rebate.
