Dram light red

I bought a used PC yesterday I was shown that it was fully working etc. Then I was examining my system fully at home and I took out one stick of ram then put it back in. Then the PC would turn on and off automatically. I took out the CMOS battery and then put it back in. Now there is no signal but the PC powers on. Also there where short power cuts yesterday, could that mean something? It has an r9 270x, i5 2500k, p8p67 pro mobo if needed.

try taking it out again, you might have broken the ram.

I have taken it out and the two sticks look identical so I'm guessing they're not broken but any tips on checking them?

I just found the problem. As i am new to pc gaming i was alittle scared to push the ram in too hard and break either the ram itself or the slot. I then tried putting it back in and then the ram clicked and i knew the problem straight away, Thanks for your time anyway!
