Dell GX270 Shutdown problems

I am having problems with my Dell GX270 with Windows XP pro. Everytime I work and open more than one application or more the PC will shutdown. The pc actually looks like it did not shutdown because the Green light in the front is still on. Fan still blowing too.

The monitors just shut off. I have swapped video cards. Used the motherboard video card. This began happeing since I put a Ghost image on this PC. all my other pc's, the are not GX270's but they are working fine after the ghost image. Please help..

I believe you are having hardware faliure because of the bios settings and hardware configuration due to the use of ghost. Ghost usually installs different settings than the one that your ghost formatted computer has. Try downloading the drivers for your hardware and over writing the ones that you have right now.

Ok, I think I figured something out what the problem was. First of all, I want to thank everyone for providing your comments. It was very appreciated. Now, what I found out was the memory that I purchased for these users a while ago was causing the problems. I can't understand why the problem was just started occuring now. But I have removed the RAM and now it looks to be stable. I haven't had a problem yet. THank you once again guys.

no problem. i also use ghost here, so i don't think that is going to effect anything. if it happens again with different ram, i would relate it to the mobo at that time.
