Overheating possibly, does the light at the front flash or anything?

If you do not hear the FAN, it could be overheating, but you should get about 13 seconds from that, not an immediate turn off. It may be a power supply failure, they're internal, see if you can try another one, SEE if...

If its a red flashing blink i'm sure it is overheating, my phat does it after like 5 minutes. Might be the fan or too much thermal paste on the chips, or it might be the power as PS said.

Have a look at Gilksy's video. He shows you how to take apart and clean the chips.
