Try removing the memory module and clean the memory with a soft brush. Clean the slots on the motherboard and place the memory again. Make sure the memory is placed properly. (Both switchs on the memory slot should be holding the memory module in place)
If not working try placing memory in another memory slot on the motherboard.
If still not working, try swapping memory with a computer that has same type of memory.
Try the memory on another computer.
Try the memory of the other computer in the Dell Dimension. By doing this you'll determine waht causes the problem.
Test or Replace your PSU then test all leads that are attached to your hard drive sounds like a faulty lead of some sorts then
