Help with Parity Check/Memory Parity Error

No Man Stands So Tall As When He Stoops To Help a Child. Icrontian
I am trying to help a lady friend of mine whose Dell Dimension 9150 won't boot to windows. After the XP logo screen, the system blue screens with the following message: "Hardware Malfunction, Call your hardware vendor for support. NMI: Parity Check/Memory Parity Error. The system has halted."
I have found nothing useful by Googling and I am currently running Memtest86+. So far, after one pass, no errors detected. Any ideas on how I can get her past this error so it will boot to windows? I can get to the BIOS but I cannot access windows so any diagnostic software has to be bootable and not require the windows environment.

*I hate to work on Dell machines* :/
Windows MUST be installed on the computer it will be running on.
