Been having the issue for a while and have just deakt with it, bib figured i would look for some input.

From a cold boot my system will turn on then power off immediately. I will immediately turn back on and complete the boot process.

I'm not overclocking, temps are stable, ran memory tests, loaded bios default.

Any ideas ?

6700k
Dominator memory
Gigabyte z170x ultra
Corsair rm850
M.2 drive
850 evo

Latest BIOS version appears to be F23j if I found the right link to your MB model.

It's worth a look.

The rest of your components are good quality stuff, so there isn't much to suspect as a problem.
The "turn it on and it goes off and back on" cycle is seeming like a BIOS memory training thing to me.
You could try to specifically set the memory speed and voltage in the BIOS instead of leaving it Auto. Choose the XMP profile if the memory has it (Dominator should).

Only other idea I have would be to try only plugging in the USB keyboard and mouse while unplugging everything else just to see if it makes a difference. If you only have kb/mouse plugged in then never mind that.

Mine is actually the UD3, but still uses same bios. I was using auto and xmp at one time I believe, but never thought to manually put the timings in. I will try that tonight and report back.
 
Embarrassed to say that my bios was severely overdue for a update. I'm on F6, current version is F23j. I flashed and it seems to be working now, overnight will tell the tale once it has been off for a while.
