Iam using Pentium 4 , 845S chipset, my ram is 128SDram and has a 256K cache, the OS is Windows XP professional. Well I brought this system 4 years back. and for the last 4 years, system keeps restarting .with out any prior notice. Due to this my Os crashes frequently and again,my 128MB ram was damaged. Another thing which i wish to bring it to ur notice is that, there is a slight leckage of current in the earth about 6V . PLease help me.

Could be anything!

If it's been going on for 4 years I would be suspicious of bad RAM from day 1. Also 128Mb is hardly sufficient for smooth running of XP Pro (in my opinion)

Another possibility is a bad or undersized power supply - your comment on 6v earth leakage worries me - what exactly do you mean and how did you measure it?

first thing I'd do would be to replace the Powersupply.A leak of 6V to Ground is 
a serious Matter.Safetywise and in relation to the Machine itself.Something like 
that has to disturb the rather delicate Circuitry of the Computer.If it is not the 
Powersupply,check the wiring where it goes along the Metalparts of the Box.I think 
you will have to resolve that problem first.
