[SOLVED] CPU issue?

[IveAlreadyJuan]

So I’ve fitted a new PSU and the pc powers on for as long as my CPU power lead isn’t connected. If it’s connected it runs for around 10 seconds clicks then turns off? Any ideas or fixes?

Right, I’ve taken both the rams out and it seems to work fine? Could it be a ram issue?

When the ram and the cpu are in at the same time it shorts.

I have something similar lately. Try start the pc lying flat after reseating the RAM and just make sure the cpu heat sink is stable.
I am never brave enough to plug out cpu fan. I will just replace the stock Intel cooler when I reseat it.

Did you get this solved? I found sometimes everything works after reseating as the motherboard has shortcircuited. That is a sign of motherboard needing replacing probably.

An i7-6700k will never, ever run on a b360 motherboard. They're incompatible.

Always double-check the motherboard's CPU support list before matching a motherboard and CPU. A Skylake CPU simply will not run on a Coffee Lake-era motherboard.
