I dont know about where you live but here in the uk, Asus rmas take forever [6-8 weeks!] I always hope I can get the retailer to swap my boards if possible. the Asus direct process really sucks here.
So while the board may not be fine as well due to the IOH voltage issue it seems that it was infact the DRAM causing the problem. This morning no matter what I did I could not boot. Started taking out memory sticks and seeing which ones I can boot with. All but one are okay. One stick as soon as it is installed in any slot, with other sticks or by itself will cause DET DRAM hang or LOCKED hang respectively.

I already contacted Corsair to request an RMA so I'm waiting for their email. I have to figure out a way to set up an advanced RMA though as I cannot be left without memory even for a day.

What an extremely strange issue though. No test tool showed anything, for weeks, that is up until yesterday. Well, even that was just reboots and BSODs not actual memory test errors (just reboots and BSODs ).
