Continual alert to restart

Question

Hi guys, I've never encountered this problem before - at least on such a continual basis.
So using a 600 mhz G3 grahite, 10.4.11 or what ever is on the harddrive - I was changing over to a different harddrive - when I replaced it with another used HD, I thought I'd check it out with disk utility - but that process actually stopped mid-stream; so I re-initialised the thing, stuck an OSX vs 1 in to reinstall software - that process also stopped halfway with an error warning - 'can't continue installation' - so I put in another HD - got the screen running fine, nice and blue, initialising, then the black 'restart' box/transparent notice came up, and up and up and up - replaced that HD with a third HD - hit the cpu button - once!!! - and still got the 'restart warning - and when I tried to restart via the OSX CD - on each of the replaced HD's - I got black writing running down the screen, a few moments after the CD startup screen appeared.
Okay - I did add a 128 stick of mem to the 512 already there - but both sticks had shown up 'ok' on the first replacement, before I thought I'd use disk utility to repair the very first HD replacement, as it had been acting a bit clunky at times. and there have been no memory problem chimes anyway.
I have noticed that a tremendous amount of heating up happens, especially on the HD carry case and the HD itself - abnormally high - so that is a bit of a worry.
This is one of my best 'puters - so I'd really like to try fixing before I think about ditching it.
It just don't sound like a HD thing here - and I've checked the cables each time to see if I connected them correctly.
Any clues - testimonies?????

An email from script? I don't know.
But you can write your messages in a txt.file:
1. Instead of .txt, use the extension .eml (that is ee em ell) for your new file
2. Use the following format. "Date", "From", "Subject" and "To" must be followed by a blank line! (Or so I discovered after trying to leave it out.)
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 00:28:25 +0100
From: [email protected]
Subject: Welcome
To: [email protected]
Hi,
Please read this:
.... (more text)
Sincerely,

3. Save it at a known location
4. Issue this as last command:
yourFile.execute();
5. The generated mail will open automatically in your user's Mail client. Instruct them to press "Send"
A fully working script -- NOTE THE REQUIRED BLANK LINE:
message1 = "Oh okay this works";
aFile = File("~/Desktop/test.eml");
aFile.open('w');
aFile.writeln("Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 00:28:25 +0100");
aFile.writeln("From: [email protected]");
aFile.writeln("Subject: Welcome");
aFile.writeln("To: [email protected]");
aFile.writeln();          // IMPORTANT! LEAVE THIS LINE BLANK!
aFile.writeln("Hi,");
aFile.writeln("Please read this:");
aFile.writeln(message1);
aFile.writeln("Sincerely,");
aFile.writeln("essejesse");
aFile.close();
aFile.execute();
