Check the capacitors on the motherboard, Dell had a BIG problem with faulty capacitors on the GX270, GX520, GX620, GX745 and GX755 units. The parts would cause the unit to either not boot at all or lockup booting or running programs. I would bet you have some that are just beginning to fail and the motherboard power is not stable which would mean the chips are not getting enough power. Here is a link to an article about the issue and what to look for on your board.

SOURCE: Dell OptiPlex GX620 starts up then shuts down repeatedly

There are 2 probable causes for this. What is the power rating on your power supply? Less than 400W is going to have a hard time running newer boards and a SATA drive.

Also, how many cooling fans do you have? hopefully you have at least 1 case fan and 1 cpu cooler fan. If you don't have adequate cooling then your system will shut itself down when the cpu gets too hot. I've seen this a lot when someone builds a system with no case fan, and it usually gets about 30-50% into loading windows before the system powers itself down.

SOURCE: for save old bios and install new bios Dell

If you are looking to update your BIOS then you can obtain the latest version from Dell. There should also be a step by step guide on how to correctly perform the upgrade. However, unless there is a real need to upgrade your BIOS then you should not have to do this. I have worked on and custom built several PC's and have never had to update the BIOS.

How can i speed up a slow dell optiplex gx620

Hi, there. A slow Dell computer can be caused by many many reasons such as outdated hardware, overload start up programs, corrupt registry issues, too many junks, virus attack, poor security software taking too much system resources, remnants of uninstalled applications etc. The fact is, you should keep some system maintenance job regularly. If you don't want to do the job manually, try the Dell speed up solution available here: http://www.speedupslowdell.com/

Optiplex gx620 starts up but won't go into windows just comes up to start in safe mode but if I select in safe mode it comes back to safe mode. Looked in setup and see an alert "out of range"...

These issues are usually caused by the bad capacitors on the motherboard as Computerscot stated. Here is a repair guide that shows how to check your board for the bad capacitors and what to do if you find them.
