Found the problem... faulty mobo. When my friend came to my house i tried all my parts on his spare mobo and the PC worked, he then just gave it to me because he felt sorry for me (my eyes were black and i was tired as shit).... wasted a whole night doing isolation tests and etc... Turns out a cheap Asrock mobo is better than a mid range gigabyte one. Tommorow im going to go back to msy and get waranty on my mobo. Okay now im going to sleep... missed a whole night
Can you get your money back for warranty or do they just give you a replacement mobo?

Tried everything lol. Thanks for replying if you read my previous post. I tried everything possible in a isolation test (gpu, cpu, ram, power supply and etc.) and i triple checked everything was plugged in.
Thanks for your replies guys and your support.
You should legally be able to get either
In New Zealand we have some law that means if a product is faulty we can either get our money back or a replacement and it's illegal for the Shop to refuse you a refund.
Have a look for something title consumer guarantees act

You should differently be abled to get your money just tell them that the mobo you bought was faulty, and you got a new one and the one you have now works fine and that you would like to refund this one.
If they wont give you a refund get a replacement and sell it some where, you wont get all your money back but atleast you will get some of it.
I just spent all night doing isolations test... i tried another 500watt thermal take PSU, same problem.

Yeah some of my CPU socket pins bent but my sister's friend got them back to place.
Computer wouldn't turn on.
But in your case it does turn on but shuts down a bit after.

You should contact Gigabyte, not msy.
Gigabyte usually have 3 year warranty on all of their products.
Just contact them about warranty.
Ship in your motherboard.
They fix, send it back to you.
But it would take a while so do what Dave says.

I just read that in Australia if the product comes faulty, you can get a full refund or replacement BY LAW. *dramatic music*

Well Gigabyte would check what's wrong with it first.
There are some faulty parts shipped but they'll get a replacement.
