Try taking the mobo out of the case and hooking it up while it sits on a non-conductive surface. If it is making poor contact in the case or something got loose and is stuck under it in the case then you could be seeing a short.

Trying different RAM is a good idea. If you could try a different PSU it wouldn't be a bad idea, either. It is sounding like a situation where you're going to have RMA something, it's just a matter of trying to figure out what.

I'd guess the most likely point of failure is going to be the motherboard, but trying to rule out other components first is a good idea.
