Gigabyte RMA Issue/Problem

Yes it`s a lesson learnt, I was expecting to have issues which is why I was careful with the unboxing and filmed it for evidence in case something went wrong.
It`s a good board and it`s well built, I was surprised how heavy it was too, enjoy your build when you get it back.
 
Totally agree, but that saving was that pushed me over and if it was not for all new hardware at the same time I would have known it was the motherboard and sent it back ASAP, but with all the stories of bios issues and burning CPU’s and I watched JayzTwoCents on YouTube with is motherboard saying C5 all the time and he still as issues strangely today, so I thought it’s the memory, then CPU, what a ride and a waste of money its caused.

Next time if I buy hardware all in one go its from a good retailer and a good return policy.

Cheers mate.
 
Buying with PayPal or credit cards is the way to go that way you have excellent protection, the place I sent tryed to say I had used the motherboard as there was scuff marks on cpu and stand offs, I got pictures from the net and showed mine was the same on a new review board.

I'm not sure what's going on with the Windows activation as I've not encountered that before. Even if I'm reinstalling Windows on the same machine activating needs a key and to click activate. I've never had it remember an activation.

The only time I have seen that happen is with a large OEM like Dell, HP, etc where they embed the key in the BIOS & drive partition. I have had my own builds activate themselves without needing to input a license key but that is only once I have logged in with a Microsoft account that has digital licenses attached to it from a prior installation on that motherboard (unless it has been used with that Microsoft account & digital license prior, it will ask (in my experience) for a license key as normal either during the install process or on manual activation attempt).
