So I had 16 GB of RAM and one stick was faulty so I took it out and my PC worked fine for a while after that. I recently ordered a new gskill ripjaws 8 gb stick to replace the old one and now my PC doesn't turn on or do any reaction at all. I tried taking out the new ram and putting only the old one back in and it still doesn't work.

I don't know why but messing with ram after a system has been work as is for a long time really seems to confuse it.
I went from 8 gb to 16 gb with out a problem. Down the line I changed the PSU then all of a sudden the ram was an issue. Tried every configuration possible with the 1 through all 4 sticks and it wouldn't work.
Tried the F.W.I.T.I.W. (F* with it till it works) method hoping something would resolve it.
I reset the bios with all 4 sticks and it's worked fine ever since.
