PC keeps restarting after less than 1 min of turning it on, can't get it to stay on even in bios, is my PSU dead? Or is it the mother board? PSU is a 1yr old 650w seasonic g series, really pissed if its the PSU.

Take out the GPU and use integrated graphics.
Does the restarting still occur?
If no, PSU is at fault
If yes, mobo is at fault

Psu. Go rma.

If is other hardware it probably wouldn't restart itself.

Malfunction/Faulty RAM can cause system to reboot too.. You might wanna try re-sitting your RAM or using 1 of the RAM at a time if you are using a dual channel RAM.

So you zoomed down to these 2. Check if both are faulty or either one is faulty. Test both individually.
