check each part separately for errors on a running system

I had faced this problem where I work. The LED's blinked for two seconds, and then system turns off.
And that was a PSU problem!
Can you hear any beep sounds? Can you enter BIOS, or it turns off, before even giving a chance to enter that?

Since it's not been many days, I suggest you immediately contact the shop you bought it from. If you got it assembled in a shop, they should replace any faulty parts within the first week

The most probable defective piece seems to be PSU.
But still, we can be wrong. You will have to take the suppliers word for it
Or you can ask a friend for help and hope he lends you his PSU to check :)
