Solution

Then IF ALL sticks = FAIL you have a bigger problem. Perhaps in pushing-in the DIMM slots something moved and became shorted.

You can try Lazyman's Breadboard -
* Disconnect ALL Front Panel & USB Headers ; keep only the PWR & Ground <best> short w/wire.
* Disconnect ALL peripherals including the Keyboard/Mouse
* (1) Stick of RAM in the second DIMM slot from CPU
* Unscrew both the MOBO and PCIe screws

Pull the MOBO away from anything conductive and supported by a towel ; short PWR & Ground to start.

it is? ok than i will contact asus tomorrow if not than i will buy something better.. x58's are not that expensive these days
recomend which i should get just in case
 
IF you really want a new MOBO then IMO look at the Gigabyte G1 series which has the much faster, double speed, Marvell 9182 chipset. The older Marvell 9128 for example limit the newer SSD's to ~380MB/s which is a problem with the newer 500~550MB/s SSDs.

ASUS takes about 2 weeks for the RMA/Exchange process.

ASUS:
1. Request RMA (Case Number) -> http://service.asus.com/InfoPage.aspx?rid=7
2. RMA -> http://vip.asus.com/eservice/usa_rmaserv.aspx
