I purchased a new motherboard, cpu, ram, and case. The whole thing went easy enough to setup as I have put together five or six rigs now. The issue now is that it won't go past the gigabyte splash screen... most of the time. It will also sometimes restart itself a few times but that usually happens quickly if it is going to occur. I just reboot and it goes to splash and freezes. I have probably restarted the system near 200 times at this point and two of those times it let me into the bios. I have been trying to have it give me a third shot for a while now, hours, with no luck.
The new parts are:
Gigabyte Z170M-D3H motherboard
i7 6700k cpu
GSKILL RAM of which I am only using one stick of at the moment
My old parts:
A hydro extreme 2.0 cooler by thermaltake. It is attached and has compound.
ssd from sandisk, worked fine before.
a 650 watt power supply that was working fine in the build before the three new parts were swapped
Dito for the graphics card, I do have an alternate to try but I don't think its an issue.
I am going to attach a gallery link with pictures of the bios screens in case they offer any idea of what is wrong. The bios seemed to recognize the single stick of ram I left in but I don't know if there are any indicators present that maybe the CPU or Motherboard itself is to place fault upon.

Things I have done:
Alternate CMOS battery
Remove CMOS battery to reset as well as using the clear cmos jumper
Update bios during the first time that it worked
Unplug all USB devices except for keyboard and mouse
Check in bios the second time to discover that it did recognize my sandisk ssd
Check temperature while in bios. I believe the cpu was at 50ish if I recall. Don't know if I got that in the pics
Tried booting with two different windows 10 usb sticks inserted seperately (never gets past splash) and adding a dvd drive with a Windows 7 disk (also never past splash)
I did try changing the boot device from the ssd but it didn't recognize the USB thumb drive and the disk drive wasn't plugged in yet. I have tried to get to bios again to have to start with the disk drive but no dice getting there again.
*NEW* tried another power supply with no change in symptoms.
I don't have a speaker but I can get one, it would just have to be an unfortunate drive for a few hours. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
