Gateway desktop fx 7026 memory
the specs i read says 8 gig is the max. here is what it says for RAM
RAM

- Technology DDR2 SDRAM
- Memory Speed 667.0 MHz
- Form Factor DIMM 240-pin

check to make sure you have added the right type of memory. also look at your user manual. it should tell you where and how to place the added sticks. sometimes they have to be added in pairs or have to be in specific slots. also if you dont have the manual it is on the gateway site. you should type in your model and serial number and get all the info you need.
Gateway fx7026.....beeps three times on startup
Test your PSU or replace it
One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown
Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA
the leads from your motherboard to your hard drive make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty
hope this helps

Hello, Honest.
With not much to go on here, it sounds like you either have a mouse problem or malware or spyware.
Is it possible that you are pressing the mouse kind of hard ? Do you have another mouse to replace ?
It also can be malware or spyware. Download, install and run these free programs, one at a time:

You've run the antivirus. Next, try to run malware & spyware programs. THen, run a good registry cleaner. This will aim the right things with the right things. If you made ANY changes to hardware, software, programs or data, there will be changes in your registry.

How do Imanually ejecting a disc from a gateway
There should be a small round hole on the door near the eject button.
Using a straightened heavy paper-clip, insert straight into the hole.
There is a lever inside that you will feel, press in until the door comes partly open.
Then you can pull the door to access the disk.
