Hi everyone!
I have a horrible doubt: the PCI slot n. 1 of my Maximus IV extreme (P67 B3 revision) is already gone? (the mobo is new!!)
When I put my GTX580 in slot 1 the PC boot with AA code (all normal, right?) but the screen remain black and the vga_led is ON; with the GTX 580 in slot 2, 3 or 4 is all OK.
I have tried a SLI with 2 GTX580: if the 2 cards are in slot 2 & 4 the SLI is OK, but the card in slot 4 is very close to the bottom of the case and the card in slot 2 is extremely close to the other card and the temperature of both cards are very high, despite the extra fan.
A SLI with the cards in slot 1 & 2 give me the vga_led ON.
The number of the slot I have mentioned is referred only to the RED long PCI slot; I haven't count the small black one.
When the PC is booting I hear 4 BEEP: BEEP (pause) BEEP-BEEP-BEEP.
Have any suggestion, please?

UPDATE: with a 1394 PCI (short) card in slot 1: the PC boot OK, only 1 BEEP, and the Asus PC diagnostic give me "status OK" and "in use" for the PCI slot number one.

Hi, if you boot the PC and heard the beeps from your motherboard like: 1 Beep (pause) then 3 Beeps continued, then this mean the motherboard did not detect VGA. At the beginning I think it is maybe your first PCI-E slot is malfunction, but you indicated that the 1394 card was working on the first PCI-E slot since the card is short, so what I think maybe you didn't connect your GTX 580 properly to the first PCI-E slot. If you did connect your graphic card properly, then maybe the first PCI-E slot part of the pins malfunction (this could happen as the short 1394 card worked). Well I am not a pro of the hardware so what I said above could be wrong. Try to connect the GTX 580 to your first PCI-E slot properly and try again, if still not work then you can consider RMA it.

Thank you for your opinion, unfortunately is my opinion too.
I have tried more times to connect the VGA and every time I've checked carefully that the card is properly inserted.
I'm considerring now the RMA...
