Even in the new RAM it showed the same errors.

The Brand New packed RAM , Hard Disk And PSU were brought by a guy from a local service center nearby.So i doubt they were faulty.
My friends here dont have this kind of Config. All of them DDR I or using a laptop.
What and how do i test in a processor?

You should not have plugged in the new RAM without checking your mobo. You might have damaged a perfectly new piece of hardware. It would be better to get your PC checked at some computer repair shop, if there are any nearby. They can check voltages etc. with specialised tools, they'd be able to advise you better.

I did call a guy from the local repair shop.
The Good ones are in Nehru Place(Quite Far for me), n i dont trust them much.
The New Hardwares were all his. No loss on my side.
And he didnt check nething like the voltage though :S
Only way out now is Buying a new Motherboard and processor (since the problem is in one of dose two. Most prolly the Mobo)
Ne Suggestions of a good Motherboard and Processor Combo under 10k ?
And Since i have a Dell system,i would have to buy a new case as well :\

Hope the Thread ends with "Problem Solved"

I doubt even one is fried. You are just jumping to conclusions. You will need another test bed. Else you can keep spending money and accumulating more parts, on the assumption they have gone defunct.

I think so too, that the RAM sticks are ok.
But there is a hardware thats faulty. and its most probably the motherboard. Or the RAM, considering i am really unlucky with RAMs.

the repair shop guy couldn't even locate where the problem was? why doesn't he close down his shop? I too think that the RAM sticks are OK, but there's no way to check. couldn't you call a person from Dell?

That guy had nvr worked with Vista.And he called my BIOS as vista startup
I told him to change the Hard Disk , RAM and PSU and check. which he did, and the problem was still dere.
All the local repair shops are like this here :\
I will have to take it to nehru place...and dats far far away.

So basically, he doesn't even know that BIOS has got nothing to do with the OS, 
better stay away from him in future. You yourself know much more than him

Okay. This is weird. Try this.
Plug in the new components to the board. Remove the power cord, and press the chassis power button for a few seconds. Then remove the CMOS battery for a minute. Push it back in. Now install XP on the system, via a USB bootable. See if it is stable.

Done all dat.
Except for the CMOS part.
