problem with computer - A-20 gate

whenever I turn on my (old) PC and Windows is about to be started, the
process stops and the machine tells me there is a problem with the
A-20 gate, and the XMS-driver would not be installed. The same thing happens
whenever I try to start the PC from boot-disc. Afterwords the DOS-prompt is
shown, but sometimes I'm unable to type; the keyboard appears not to be
recognized in that case. I already checked the RAM - it works properly. Can
somebody give me advice what to do?
