System not Booting!!! Please Help.

Hey guys I am having this problem for last one week. Thought it was temporary but it just continues. The problem is system is not booting. Every time I press the power button, a Red LED from DRAM_LED keeps on. Normally the process was, two small rapid blinks from CPU_LED, then a long blink of about 5-6 secs from DRAM_LED, then another small one from near the GPU slot and finally from BOOT_DEVICE_LED. But now the light keeps stuck on DRAM_LED. When I press the Mem OK button then system restarts after 2-3 attempts, then a message pops up that Overclocking failed, I guess it's normal.
Here is what I've done so far,
a- Tried Removing and Re-installing the RAM's one by one.
b- Updated my BIOS to version 1006.
c- In fact I opened the CPU and re seated it again.
d- Removed and re-inserted the MB Battery.
But the problem remains. Please tell me what's wrong here. I am on Stock speed and on XMP profile on 1600 MHz.
It's needless to say that how irritating the problem is. So please tell me the steps to be done.
Regards.
PS- I am attaching a Pic of the MB showing how the lights normally pops up. You can see that I've marked DRAM_LED by No.2, that light is staying ON!

Here is a Video also of Normal system booting, but now that Red LED just staying on at DRAM_LED.

One more thing I am noticing, if I turn ON the system in short interval after Turning OFF, say 15/30 mins, then it boots OK, the problem is happening when the system is OFF for long period, ie- 8-9 hours/overnight !!

It looks like the Motherboard by default has this issue and that's the reason they have included that SPECIAL BUTTON to overcome this issue.

This is not a FEATURE, but to fool customers of the limitations of this motherboard.

Please kindly let us know your RAM details. (ALL 4 sticks) to further help you.

My RAM stick is a pair of Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 Ver 2.3 and another pair of same, Ver 2.5.
Anyway, I am going to give the damn board for RMA tomorrow. Whatever they do, if they even replace it, I will give it to someone and buy a different MoBo. One thing I am taking oath that I will NEVER buy an ASUS product again. I am not gonna let those idiots to embarrass me with US$350 product.
Regards.

So you are going to RMA your motherboard, its sad to hear that your brand new motherboard is not working.Try to talk with Vedant before going to Rashi Periphral. Becasue of these I always recommended my friend to buy MSI/Gigabyte board over ASUS.Hope that you will get a board replaced soon.Best of luck.

Oh, I already deposited it to Rashi. They will give me some news on Monday. Lets see if it's bad or good. I am damn embarrassed, that's all.

Update:

Got a call from Rashi today morning asking me to bring the Processor as they weren't able to test my board. I went to them with the CPU. Then they asked if I brought the fan. Basically they don't have a spare CPU and a fan for testing! Anyway they took the CPU. We are talking about a service center here. Lol. Soon Rashi will get their name involved under the word 'Idiot' in Dictionaries.

^^When they will agree to replace your motherboard make sure that they are giving sealed packed box otherwise asked them return the full money and buy any MSI/Gigabyte X58 chipset based motherboard.I think you will not get disappointed like ASUS

That's why i always avoid RASHI product after XFX 8600Gt case.When everyone buying ASUS z68 VPRO i am waiting for some good msi/gigabyte board becasue of rashi.

Ya me too will say the same thing. Why on EARTH you allowed them to keep your CPU ??

What if they spoil it !! so may be change it with some other and give it to you.

Do you have any Receipt for the CPU you have given them ??

And why did they ask you to provide them the CPU ? They are never supposed to call additional products to check motherboards ?

Motherboards are checked using KITS and not by putting CPU in it ?

I am worried, for you !!

Yes, I was asked to deposit the CPU and yes they written that they took the CPU on the RMA paper. Anyway, just got this mail half an hour ago,
Dear Saurav,

Our fan mismatch with your CPU.

So, kindly send your Fan for further proceedings.
