I have 2 DDR RAM sticks of 128 MB & 512 MB. I've been using both since last couple of months without any problem but for last couple of days whenever I use both of them together my PC restarts after 5.. 10 mins and I have to power it off and start it again. But if I use only 1 stick the comp works perfectly. what could be the problem ?

Now there can be a couple of points wich u need to ponder upon:
If u hv additional RAM slots,try interchanging the RAM modules and see if tat works.If yes then tat particular RAM slot must be corrupted permanently or due to dust (So use a soft brush to clean the slot).
Try to clean the RAM modules with a soft brush and see if that helps.
Check if any one of the RAM is faulty or not on ur friend's mobo.
Please post ur results to help u better.

Since u hv been using both RAM sticks for sumtime now, It is assumed tat both the Frequencies are same.

Most probably one of your RAM is faulty. Try working on one at a time, and find the faulty one, replace it with a new one, AND PEACE...

i had the same problem.
i just opened my CPU and 'Ram ko thoda hila diya'

It worked on his machine for almost 2 years b4 conking off. Am just
