I have a Gateway computer with AMD Atholon processor and 64MB memory. During the boot process the memory count indicate 0. How do I correct this?

Sounds like your RAM is going bad, or is loose in the socket.

Does the system boot into Windows?

If so, then this is very unusual.

An off-the-wall thing to check, would be the OS-2 switch in BIOS settings. If the switch is set for OS-2. then the BIOS might not report memory if you have exactly 64MB.

This also could be a BIOS bug, or a security setting in BIOS settings.
