Try a CMOS reset see if that helps, if not try removing one stick of ram then try another stick to ensure it is not ram coursing you problems.

What's CMOS and how do I do that i'hv already done that wth the RAM

There should be jumper on the board which resets the BIOS within the board and may re-sort it's self out - or remove the battery for 10mins.

I have not used a SP32P2 but my guess is there the same as older versions.

Disconnect everything including the power lead.
At the back of the shuttle you will see a small whole with the word CMOS next to it.
Put a small pen or pin into the whole and press for at least for 10 secs.
Re-connect everything and boot onto BIOS reset Date and set to load Optimized Defaults.
Press F10 to save and exit.

Thats it.

Still nothing

Did you try using just 1 stick in different slots?

Still nothing but I know the RAM itself is okay because its from an older computer till get have some more money but i will get some more RAM is this okay do you think?

I assume you have checked that the Ram you have is compatible with the shuttle.
Was the RAM OK when it was installed on your last system.
Can you check the RAM in another system to confirm it´s OK.

Faulty memory is the first thing I would check.

It might be the cpu - your thread below!

Can you get full cpu details and see if it matches the list below:

Thanks I checked the compatibilty on the OCUK website then went on to the forums and i thought it was fine. The RAM worked in my old computer. YehI think it's the processor it isn't on the compatibility list.
