I had not, as yet, had that apparently floating point of failure. Where I last had it posting, I was getting a consistent point of failure
Admittedly, I have no idea why the symptom changed after the CPU swap. Should I assume you've tried clearing CMOS?

Should I try to swap or wait for the new memory?
Personally, I'd do the motherboard--- or maybe whatever's faster because I'm not patient, and I am less inclined to rule out the RAM quite as quickly as the CPU. If it's G.Skill's RMA turnaround time vs. Amazon's motherboard ship time, do the motherboard. If you'd have to RMA either one with the manufacturer, I don't know which would be faster. ASUS can drag arse sometimes, but they also offer cross-shipping.

I did not. The more research I do on similar failures has that on the checklist - I'm trying to figure out the reasoning. I've hesitated until now, because I'm not sure if that reverts the bios or not. (In the old days, we just pulled the battery. This one has pins but no jumper. The manual says, no $hit, short it with a paperclip for 10 seconds. I think I have a jumper to do that, but seems strange.)
So, is there a downside to clearing the CMOS?
(ETA: And I have a new motherboard in, with memory on the way - at least those will have return time remaining, if the original parts are not at fault.)
ETA: - Well I did clear the CMOS and - no effect. Same red Ram light. Hitting memOK button causes it to flash, reset, then back to a solid red memory LED.
