This is extremely difficult to diagnose over a one-way forum such as this. This could be anything. Bad RAM, bad CPU, bad power supply, bad motherboard, or a loose connection.
This link goes to the official Dell specifications page for this model: https://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx260/en/ug/specs.htm
The system uses 200 or 266 MHz PC2100 DDR SDRAM DIMMs
