Power supply will run for a minute or two, then shut down.

Hi friends and family of the IT world. I have encounter something that I havent faced before. I've built PCs and had no issues at all. But for some reason I cant seem to fix this issue for a friend.

Now I know you all would like specs, but without getting this powered on I'm not 100% what im working with.

My friend bought an iBuyPower PC two years ago. His PSU is some crappy 500watt Allied MODEL : SL-8500BTX
Components:
AMD CPU
MSI 970 G Series MoBo
8GB 1600 DDR3 RAM
some single GPU MSI graphics card
1 TB Western Digital HDD
LG DVD drive.

So his current PSU is making the oh so famous "whine" and needs replacement. So figure lets replace this and put a new one in.
I currently have a brand new ROSEWELL 750 S-B EXTREME series and i put in the molex for fans, 24pin for power power, 4 pin for mobo, 6pin for GPU, and SATA for HDD and LG drive, pretty much took the old PSU and replaced this new one with the exact same connections...

The PSU will start, the MOBO MSI screen pops up(but doesn't allow me to press f11 for boot selection or f2 for BIOS.?) then goes to windows 8 screen sign in and BAM it will turn off. The front panel power light will blink and I have to physically take out the cord, press the IO button and then it will do it over again...

Any ideas? Any trouble shooting steps that can help?

Much appreciate you all.

There is a slight possibility that the original low grade PSU which seems to be failing may have caused some damage to other components.

Make sure that all cables/wires are connected firmly.

Also, make sure the CPU, video card, and memory are seated properly.

Clear CMOS.

If problems persist, then -

Try the video card in another computer, and/or try another known working video card.

Try the memory in another computer, and/or try some other known compatible memory.

I checked cables and wires, all OK.
CPU GPU and RAM are seating properly.

When I put the new PSU the issue occurs, when i put the old one back in the issue is gone.

Is it something with my new PSU?

Probably defective.

You can try the paperclip test

Though that is not a definite way to say it's not the culprit, because during the paperclip test there is no load on the PSU, so it may be fine there but not in Windows.

If the other PSU works when you swap it out, I'd say pretty definitely that this Rosewill one is bad period. You don't even need to do the paperclip test. Your PSU is defective. I know because the other one works.
