New Build start up issue

Q

So i just ordered new parts from newegg for my brothers new Desktop. this is what i ordered:

Intel I5 760
Asus Maximus III
Saphire 6850
2x2GB G.Skill Ripjaws Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
750GB
XIGMATEK NRP-PC702 700W

What first happened is I didnt fully push down one of the ram sticks into the memory slots on the mobo. When i first powered it up the other week i smelt smoke and it smelt like it came from the ram. So i sent the ram back and got a new kit of the same ram. However without the ram in the mobo when i turn on the computer it turns on for a second then turns of and restarts and repeats. The fans spin as well for a second. Is this still a memory problem or is it possibly the mobo? The mobo doesnt make any weird beeps or anything. But before it would beep twice with the ram i thought i had fried, but the manual didnt say anything for two beeps. Any ideas? Thanks!

Yes i have tried it with the ram all the way in. tried with just one stick and both sticks in different slots as well. The computer would stay on before i got that slight smoke smell, but it wouldnt show anything on my monitor, it would just stay on and idle pretty much.

The MB is toasted bro . RMA it and get a new one . Next time be more careful .

The MB manual does not list support for the ram i have. it shows support for the G.Skill F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM and a few other G.Skill, but not the F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM that I have. Will this be a problem?
