That sounds like a serious hardware problem.
Try booting to a CD/DVD.
I suspect you need to take it to a shop.

boot from a cd and check the system out before you bring it somewhere. re-seat the memory, remove the hard drive and boot from a CD using a live OS.. See what happens.. it's better than spending alot of money to find out something silly was wrong..
