That's not a Windows XP error, that's an error from your BIOS/motherboard.
You'll need to reference the manual for the motherboard or contact the
vendor. Regardless, it sounds like your memory may be having problems. If
you had a couple extra sticks you could try swapping them, or removing and
reseating them to see if it makes a difference.
