I currently have:

Gateway E-3600 series running Win XP
P4 1.7 ghz 256 RAM
possible 1536 RAM

I have 2 open slots for memory upgrades. I bought an extra 512 RAM and installed it with no problems. After about a week or so my PC started crashing and rebooting itself. I have since taken the RAM out and have had no errors.

After doing some reading on what might have caused the problem I have come to the conclusion that my BIOS needs to be updated. My current BIOS is from 2001 and I have no Idea on how or where to go to get this upgrade. My PC is out of warranty so Gateway won't touch me with a 10 foot pole.

Any help or links would be greatly appreciated.
 
do you still have your gateway cds. put them in and got to web updates

other you will have open your case to see what mobo you have

then go to their web site
 
its a american megatrends .... What cd are you referring to? I have 2 application cd's and a driver cd. when I go to web updates it gives me the option to upgrade my modem.
