1| Please list your full system's specs. List them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth X58
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate.

2| How did you end up with the ram catching on fire?

3| I should be more concerned with why the ram caught on fire to understand if your system will become a money pit due to troubleshooting or if you're better off with a new motherboard.

4| You've got 6 slots on your board and the maximum ram supported is 24GB which means that each slot will accept a 4GB stick of ram. Maximum ram frequency will be DDR3-1866MHz (if overclocked) operating at a maximum of 1.65v.

5| Are you on the latest BIOS revision for your board?
