The Gateway specs appear to show the maximum memory supported is 2 GBs. So it would not recognize the new Kingston 4GBs you installed. It is also possible that the new RAM is defective, and while that is not likely, you could test it by visiting the memtest86+ website, downloading the bootable image, burning it to a CD, and running it at boot (you boot to the bootable image, not to windows). memtest86+ will test your RAM for errors, and should be run on each stick separately, so if there is an error, you will know which stick is bad.
 
I have a problem with putting Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB ram on Asus M4A87TD EVO. When I install it, it just shows the DRAM_LED, is it because the memory isn't compatable, I'm not sure. What can I do? Sorry this is my first build.
 

Try to re-seat the RAM or put it in to different slots. Also post your system specs.

Open a new thread on your problem, that is the best way to get helped : ) Posting a question in someone's thread will just confuse others NEEDHELPNOW_13 : )
