HELP! Can't Get Into Windows - Hangs Up At Mem Test

[doc71]

This is what happened...I started my computer, didn't turn the montitor on yet, decided I didn't need to get into my computer, and shut it off...no not shut it down, just pressed the button to turn it off. Later, when someone else went to turn it on, it wouldn't get past the memory check. I can't even hit escape to get out of that. I can't get into safe mode either.

Please HELP!!!

does it beep at all
how many memory sticks do you have installed

try downloading this program - it runs on a floppy anyway and then test the memory in your PC.
