Checkpoint {EMem} error message on bootup

Previous attempts at booting this system have failed at checkpoint {EMem}. For help in resolving this problem please note this chekpoint and contact Dell Technical Support." Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Some versions of the GX110 motherboard have 8 meg of ram for video. When you set this for 1 meg in bios and remove all dimms it will boot dos and show 7 megs of system ram.

I can't get into the BIOS because on boot up it locks up about a third of the way on the progress bar. I got the system message after hitting reset a few times. I've changed the RAM sticks with the same results. I noticed this mobo BIOS is A02 and the other GX110s I've rebuilt were at A09. Could this be a factor and if so how do I change it since I can't get past boot up?
