Turn it off and then back on. RAM is temporary memory that needs a continued electrical charge to retain it's information, so once you turn it off, the memory is wiped from the RAM.

Turn off your computer, unplug it for 20 seconds, then hook it back up and start it. Holding in the Power button on the front of your machine will shorten the unplugged time.
