Do you know whether your motherboard and BIOS are current?

Certainly! Here are some alternative phrasings:

- Yes, they seem to be.
- Could you share more suggestions?
- Are there other possibilities you're considering?
- Let me know if you'd like additional options.

Currently this seems challenging for me. I think you're positioning your RAM incorrectly (poor fit can lead to issues). Apart from that, it appears to be a motherboard issue. Based on what I've learned, your memory is installed in ASUS's QVL, so it should function properly. When you mention it won't boot, are you referring to entering Windows? Does it start into the BIOS/UEFI and detect the RAM? If Windows fails to recognize them or doesn't boot at all, but the BIOS/UEFI does, then the problem might be with Windows itself. In that scenario, reinstalling Windows could help. If the BIOS/UEFI still doesn't acknowledge the RAM even when seated correctly, it could point to an internal motherboard fault or a connection issue in the slot. Another aspect to check is the RAM configuration in BIOS/UEFI. If the speed or voltage settings are incorrect, that might cause problems. Typically, default settings should be adequate.

It seems the motherboard might not be working properly. The issue with BIOS or Windows suggests a hardware problem, possibly related to the RAM or CPU. Your observation about the red color is a good clue—it could indicate a faulty component.

You might want to check the RAM first, then the CPU, and only consider the whole system if those don’t help. It’s better to find a free replacement instead of paying for a fix, and start with the least expensive solution.
