Question Do I just guess?

[xclusivo]

Gygabyte z170x Gaming 7
Intel 6700k
New PSU.

With just these connected it turns on and then shuts off.

How do I know which one is at fault?

Points toward a short or overheating problem, right?
Maybe I should just upgrade to 9900ks. I mean I can always breakout my old q6600 setup or an ancient 1gHz set up.
