Also is it that it wont turn on at all or it wont boot to windows?

Have you tried updating your BIOS?
will that effect warranty if i rma it?
No it will not affect your warranty as the BIOS is made for the MB, by the MB company. Best of luck.
how is the heat?
did intel makethe new chipset able to run two AMD cards for crossfire? i dont trust intel chipsets as far as you can throw one.
its running at 28 c put not stressed it yet as i wanted to do it with the two cards installed
ill flash it and see,also the sound card it came with is not working!!
never normally have these problems and im not inpressed with the new bios type uefi or something like that
dont feel bad. alot of onboard sound chips burn out pretty fast. im not pushing mine hard enough to blow it yet. just all my creative cards kept getting thrown out by the motherboard.
