Computers & Internet - 7 November 2007

Hi all ...
I'm having Toshiba P3 1 ghz 256mb ram laptop. While browsing internet suddenly the laptop switches off automatically...

I thought of formatting it & installing xp pro freshly. But in the stage of Partioning the drive, the sys switches off automatically.. & i have to once again follow all the procedures for installing OS....& the same prob once again occurs......
So i'm not able to instal a fresh OS..

But i'm able to format & instal using the recovery CD they gave.. There is no prob with that.....

So my sys switches off only during internet & installing other OS..

Someone told me that the RAM is spoiled & i have to replace the RAM...Is that true??? I think if the RAM is damaged the sys wont boot..(correct me if i' m wrong)...

Do i have to replace the RAM?

What could be the probable reason for this prob?

Expecting your clear answers.....
