Not sure which memory test you are running. I like
"memtest86" (a quick google will find it). You boot
off a CD and let it run as long as you want (I usually
run it overnight). As far as getting into the BIOS, one
thing I have started doing (I have a bunch of systems
around the house) is write the BIOS entry key inside
the case with a felt pen so it is easy to "remember"
how to get into the BIOS on that machine. Some
machines use F2, some use DEL etc. Seems
to help in my advanced years ;-)

Nepatsfan,
Thanks for telling me how to do it. I'd actually found the answer
somewhere else on the www. Only problem I'm running into is that when
running Windows Memory Diagnostic, it does many passes, so I don't know
if it's caught up in a loop or it's supposed to do that. Any answers?
Although I don't think this is the problem, I'm going to disable my
firewall to see if it makes a difference. I just remember trying to
some other things, the firewall was the problem. I'm going to let it
run tonight when I get ready to go to bed and see what it looks like in
the morning. Thanks again.

Restart your computer. As soon as you see anything displayed on
the monitor, start hitting the DEL key. Keep hitting the DEL
key until you see the System Setup Program displayed.
Take a look at the instructions in the Boot Screen section of
this article:
