Help!  When I run the diagnostic program QA Plus on my  Gateway 2000 50MHz 
486DX2 machine, it reports a problem with memory on the system.  It finds
a system board parity error during the memory test right near the top of 
conventional memory.  

I haven't seen any significant problems with this machine in the last year 
that I've had it.  Just to make sure the SIMMS were o.k. I took them all out 
and rearranged them.  Unfortunately, I got the same exact results.  My POST 
results are all always clean.  Any ideas?  Could this be a problem with 
QA Plus?

Thanks,
Mark
