Memory Issue?

[JTKTR]

So heres the story:

New build. MATX with watercooling. Required a lot of modding etc to get it working but i finally did about a month and a half ago. The issue though was my pump was too big so as a result I decided to get a new pump and a new videocard with a water block. So low and behold, I get my new pump, block, and card but now things take a turn for the worst. I made the mistake of switching the videocard and ATX 12 v rails and cause a spark and flame on the motherboard. Got a new board and card and psu but still will not post. No warning beeps. Well. Actually there was one. I got the no vga and memory issues beep but when i switched out cards and took out two sticks of memory it won't beep anymore. I have no idea wth is going on. Need serious help.

Specs:

ASUS P7H55-M Pro
i7 - 860
4 X 2 HyperX DDR3 1600
Sapphire 5850
TT 750 W psu

ASUS tech support says that the board/cpu doesn't support DDR 1600 and thats why I'm not getting the posts I need however, I've used the same ram on the same board (3 rmas ago) thoughts?

- Try a different video card
- Try different RAM

Ive tried both video cards and both sets of ram (ram is the same type). No change.

Do you have a second computer? Try the RAM and the video card in another computer that is functioning. If it doesn't function then you have some sort of an issue with either the original video card or RAM.

It sounds to me like something is still wrong with the motherboard..

I know. Which sucks because this is number 3. And I don't have another computer to move this stuff into...

Ives tried every stick in every slot. No post for any of them.
