1) open it up and clean with a dust buster, apply new thermal paste and reattach the heatsink.
2) connect with 2 different PSUs on 2 different sides and you'll see the wires get like super hot! after this increase wires from 1 port to all 4 and you'll see the green LED become more and more bright with each connection.
3) visual inspection of controller to see whether some solder has shorted (not mine thankfully, that would have taken another hour to fix!).
4) another power socket.
5)another network cable.
6) all steps mentioned earlier in the thread.
7) sub 20C environment.
Cool

new PSU (doesn't have to be larger, just another one to ensure that this one doesn't have any problem).
9) lots and lots of patience, and especially no throwing it on the ground after you get frustrated (took me another hour to fix that one Tongue

).

My reasons for this steps and why i tried them are that most of them are simple debugging steps. Testing to see what exactly is screwed up in the rig. The 2 different PSU was simply because i wanted to ensure that there wasnt a bridge in the wiring causing lesser current to flow in a wire. But this ended up being the final step so i thought about it as little more, I think that this allowed the whole system to heat up causing and errors in memory and such to physically reset or maybe it caused a surge of power that caused a automatic reset in case my manual ones weren't working and finally it could have been because of a PSU diode casuing some problems and this fixed it. Either way it worked for me and hope it does for you too.

PS. @hodedowe i sent you my first days mining earnings and ill send you a couple more weeks after its actually a little more stable.. Thanks for your help!!
