You will probably need to boot from an install (or system repair) disk. Before that though, run memtest86 from HERE to insure that your memory is not the issue. Just download the iso and create a CD to start up from, and let it run through a few passes. You also may want to try resetting the bios if the memory is okay.

Memtest does not run in windows -- if it will not run from a CD as the startup then you have a significant hardware issue.

You have to download memtest and create a CD from the downloaded image, then insert it in the CD/DVD drive and startup from that disk instead of your HDD.
