Hit ESC at that time, and you get a menu. Generally the last item on the menu is the Memtest86 program, just hit the down arrow key to highlight that entry and hit return. This diagnostic will run forever if it finds no errors, otherwise it will list what it has found wrong, at a fairly technical level. But, what you are looking for is the presence or absence of error reports. It may also be that your BIOS settings have gotten corrupted, or that someone overclocked the computer for gaming, and the settings are not correct for proper operation. Most BIOS setup screens have some option to return all settings to default, you might try that if you haven't made any special settings for specific hardware compatibility.
