Sounds like original ROMs.  I'm looking at the source for the enhanced
ROMs (as printed in the IIe tech reference) and the error message it
describes for RAM is different.  In any case, it looks like your
system RAM is fried.  Try to find some 64Kx1 chips somewhere (get some
sockets as well).  Remove the original RAM chips, solder the sockets
in their place, and plug the chips into the sockets.  (I wouldn't want
to directly solder the chips; a little static could ruin your day.)
If you still have problems, maybe the MMU is bad.  This is a custom
chip, but hope is not lost; check some ads in Nibble.  Somebody in
there is selling IIe chips for something like $10-$20 each.
