Hello again
My computer almost didn't start today. It took several attempts to start up by using the power button on the tower. Error message then appears that states.
Firmware has detected that the system memory has decreased. The installed amount of memory in channel A is not equal to the amount of memory in channel B.
Maximum memory preformance is achieved with equal amounts of memory installed in each channel.
Press <ESC> to Boot.
On doing this it still doesn't boot and I have to use the tower button several times. I went to crucial and checked the Belarc scan and they both found 4 sticks of 1024 memory, no issues :confused:
Thank you
Tom Miller

You could try running memtest.

No issues.
Contacted Gateway and after spending another 150.00 for an extended 4 yr onsite service contract they will come to house and replace the mobo.
Didn't want to ship it out, no telling when I would get it back

Thanks
