I built my computer 2 weeks ago, and the very first time i boot the PC i got this red light on the mobo. its a light located top right corner called DRAM_LED, it lights red 2 times and the PC boots perfectly fine, my only question is, what is this and is it something to be worried about?

Please help me before something bad happens that i dont know about!

PC Specs:
asus m5a97 r2.0 --> Motherboard
asus GTX 750 ti --> GPU
Corsair CX750M --> PSU
Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 8gb (2x4gb) --> RAM
amd fx8350 8-core (AM3+) --> CPU
coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO --> Aftermarket cpu cooler

Please help me find a solution!,
Again, there is nothing wrong with when the pc boots or anything, i just want to know what is going on and if i have anything to worry about! Thanks :)

It's the MemOk! LED it's basically checking to see if the RAM is installed correctly, if it doesn't keep flashing and your memory shows up in your BIOS in the correct frequency, you should be fine. If for some reason it doesn't work, when you start up the computer, press and hold the button directly below it. Otherwise don't bother with it, if it's working fine!
