Dell Poweredge 2800 & SQL

We have a Dell 2800 Poweredge Server purchased last year and we cannot run any version of SQL.  The server shuts down the application that uses it.  We dont have any problems with COMPAQ servers.   We have tried Windows 2003 sp1, Windows 2003 R2 32bit and 64bit.  Cant get any help from DELL.  Has anyone had any problems with this?

We installed 2 completely different applications and it crashed SQL every time.

I forgot.    We are not running the full SQL.  It is SQL express.

All apps installed cleanly.  We installed to two servers at the same time.  The compaq ran fine.  The SQL express services shut down and the application crashes.  Same OS, different hardware.  Same basic default configuration and installation.

Motherboard has been changed out...  I will try the RAM.  But lately, its been like going to the dentist office to get parts replaced.

Thanks.

what is the error (if any) in the event log or SQL log when SQL shuts down?
