Hi guys, I tried to install my new I7 700k into my pc about 20 minutes ago and I did everything accordingly to plan (I think). Inserted the CPU, applied thermal paste, screwed the cooler in and then fired it up. The PC fan started turning and everything was going to plan or so I thought. The monitor didn't turn on as usual with the GIGABYTE ULTRA DURABLE screen and within a few seconds the PC just turns itself off. The monitor doesn't turn on as usual. I tried it again and the same happened, comes on for a few seconds and then goes back off. Help please ?
Pc cuts out after CPU change after a few seconds.

I think that I may need to update my motherboard bios by I don't know how to do that or what I need to update it to
Here's me specs:
CPU: Intel i5 6400 - i7 700k (After upgrade if I sort my problem)
CPU COOLER: Artic Freezer i11
MOBO: Gigabyte H110M-S2H
RAM: 8gb Crucial
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 - EVGA GTX 1080 (After CPU upgrade)
PSU: Aerocool Integrator 500w
STORAGE: Seagate 1tb
CASE: Game Max Falcon Black
I think that's everything.

This definitely sounds like a heating problem. I know you described that the fan starts up and you applied thermal paste, so I can't think of what the issue could be. I'd look online and make sure your cooler can sufficiently cool the CPU.

If you want quieter then yes, but if you're not overclocking, the CPU/CPU cooler is not faulty, and your ambient temperature is OK, then there's not much need. Your stock cooler will keep your CPU cool enough under load assuming the conditions I just stated above. But decent third party coolers will often be quieter.
Refer to this if you still want to go ahead:

To me it sounds more like the CPU had just been seated incorrectly.
