It sounds like a BIOS fan failure safty feature. Check to make sure that your BIOS is not trying to detect a CPU fan on one of the MB fan headers. If it does not detect a fan that has a high enough RPM, then it will shut down the machine about 10 seconds after you apply power to it.
At least thats what some ABIT and ASUS MB do.
