It means you have memory problems of some sort.

Power off.  Skin the box.  Vacuum out the dust bunnies.  Using a 
grounded wrist strap, reseat the memory DIMMs, boards or whatever. 
That's the standard appeal for a miracle.  Sometimes it's all you need.

If that doesn't fix it you will probably need repair parts and/or 
professional help.
