Red light on ASUS Motherboard

[OneMoar]

Or he had a lose connection someplace and it was just a fluke it started working again ...
could have a cracked trace on the board or a issue with the socket
if it was a ram issue then it should have given 3 beeps and the light will blink twice according to the manual
steady on indicates a no power to the cpu
just because it didn't post in the other machine doesn't mean the ram is shot he may not have cleared the cmos when testing it in the other machine ... which could cause a no post ...
or he managed to kill the ram with ESD ... which unless you work on carpet is near impossible

Mine blinks quickly when it is booting normally. I've never recall seeing mine flash when I first got it with a BIOS that didn't play nicely with the memory I had. Many boards also don't have a built in speaker so the beep codes will only be heard if you added one yourself. Maybe it's different with his board but every time my system hangs on boot because of DRAM for any reason (including unstable DRAM overclock) it's always a stead red on the DRAM_LED.

All in all, I think the only evidence everyone is running on to blame something other than the memory or blame something on why the memory failed is the Rosewill PSU. Without additional information it would be hard to say, but I find it very unlikely that the PSU failing would cause issues strictly with the DRAM itself. Some of the explanations I've read here have been pretty ridiculous. So without jumping to conclusions, the PSU should be tested before blaming it for anything.
