The board is on sale on Newegg right now, 200$ instead of the usual 220$. It's not much but every bit helps. I'm just so conflicted because a part of me knows I could hold out until Z77 and Ivy Bridge comes out, but I don't know how long I can wait until this sale ends!
Those lights should not be flashing at all. Faulty wiring, not enough power, faulty PSU, shortage, etc. I sent my corsair TX850M to RMA last week because the motherboard won't power on, and after doing the paperclip testing, PSU was dead. And I powered it on before. I didn't got flashing LED's, only fixed LEDs, but test the PSU anyway.
@leadpx Yeah you were correct. I did the paperclip test on my new PSU and it didn't pass... I had to send my PSU back and got another one and now the motherboard works fine. It's quite a shame that Asus customer support couldn't tell me to test that first (or know that these kind of blinking lights means the PSU is no good)
This vid is scaring me... lol

The price could be back to normal tomorrow.

@Khadgar346 My new PSU came from RMA last week, now everything's fine, up and running. Good motherboard actually!
Glad you figure out your problem too :)

Short between the motherboard and case? check none of the power cables have shorted.
