Welcome to Android Central! My guess is that the battery failed. Try a new one, or borrow someone else's to test out.

It might be a hardware problem then. It could be something as minor as a faulty Power button, or as major as a failing motherboard. You'd have to bring it to a repair shop to find out.

I had the same problem. The culprit is that the power button is stucked at the 'pressed' all the time. So it will turn on and turn off after a few secs.

Here's the link for trouble shoot and solutions in changing the power button. You might need to spend some time and a voltmeter.
