Helpful friends - Here's a problem with my Gateway Performance 450, 4.5 years old. For the last two days, the dial-up connection to my ISP dials up and connects after I select shutdown, and also immediately upon bootup. When shutting down, it gets about halfway through the modem training and...

I have an old Gateway 450 that served me very well until around Christmas when it went through a little phase where it just wouldn't start. The first time it happened my son had changed the speakers to the headphones while the machine was on, and when it finally did start after a week or so the...

Ok....I got the power;eap PL-IP3/T installed in place of the P3-450. Works great so far.....I'm getting three beeps on start-up though. Is this anything to worry about? I couldn't find any thing on Powerleap's site. Thanks, Broham
