Rom
To boot Windows 7 from a memory stick, insert the memory stick into a USB drive on the powered off the computer. Turn the computer on and it should boot from the memory stick.
The BIOS stores instructions for how the computer is supposed to boot up.
Not enough memory
RAM.
A soft boot should be used on your computer any time that you press restart after installing updates, or programs. A soft boot is when you allow all programs to close before you restart. The only time you would use a hard boot is when you have to restart without allowing programs to close first.
A boot sector virus is a computer virus that puts itself in the boot sector of a computer. The boot sector is the partition on the disk drive that contains all of the programs and files necessary for the computer to start up. This ensures that the virus will be executed once the computer is turned on.

The computer will normally become unresponsive because the computer is loading several files and services when displaying the main screen. Try uninstalling some unused programs or limit the programs that start on boot-up using msconfig.exe.

No. First, the ROM BIOS is a type of memory. If the machine has no instructions to allow it to boot, it cannot do so. But often, the ROM needs to unpack its instructions somewhere else, and if there is no space for it to do that, it won't boot. Plus the POST tests will detect no memory, assume an error, and fail. Now, it would be possible to build a computer where everything is in ROM, but again, ROM is a type of memory.
If by memory you mean RAM then you might be able to boot into a live CD and then perhaps use virtual memory from a hard drive?
