This is almost certainly a shorted speaker lead. Unhook and reconnect ALL your speaker wires from both the speakers and the receiver. Take care that no stray strands of wire are shorting out.

It is overheating for some reason. Make sure vents are not blocked and that the cooling fan is working. Is it inside a closed cabinet? Maybe you need more ventilation around it. If main speaker wires were shorted, I would not expect the receiver to work for even 3 seconds, but that should be checked also. Disconnect the speaker wires from the back of the receiver and see if it stays on. If so, then try to isolate which pair of wires is causing the problem.

This is a power-supply problem. Circuits are designed to protect themselves in better equipment, and when the stereo doesn't see the voltage it wants to it shuts itself down. It could be a bad rectifier, bad power transister, shorted load resistor (or speaker), flakey cap (capacitor)...any number of things. If it's a nice unit, get it into a tech...being it's just a power-supply problem it shouldn't cost you more than, say, $100. If it's not worth it to you to fix, chuck it and get something else.
Word to the wise: Older stereos made in the mid-80's or earlier are a lot better and are more valuable than newer stuff...which sounds like junk in comparison. If it's an older one, get it fixed and hold onto it!

Sounds like
you have some
speaker connections
touching. Double-check
all of your connections to make
sure they're not touching and are
secured
-and voila!

Either speaker wires or let it cool down, maybe have a small fan blow on receiver. Have nothin on top of receiver.

Could be a short circuit - check your speaker wires.
