I am trying to upgrade the RAM on my old 1100. It currently has a 128mb PC133 and mobo can support 512mb according to gateway. Tried a Wintec 512mb (2 separate times), then tried 2 x 256mb (Mushkin) with same results.....computer will not boot up at all. It acts the same way as when I tried...

Wife' has a fairly recent Gateway Notebook AMD Turion 64, 1 GB (don't remember the model, but it's not top of the line.) Recently is started grinding to halt after she logged in. Task Manager showed SVCHOST taking up 99% of the CPU. After futzing around and disabling things I finally discover...

Well have set up my machine and am getting somewhat familiar with it. Can't say I am an expert on it yet (grin) but have found my download speeds are a lot faster than with my XP Laptop from Toshiba. The big LCD (22") is great. Do have a noise in the computer that I think is a fan that sounds...

Gateway finally just added upgrade options on their FX530 desktops for Nvidia 8800 GTX 768MB ($600) and GTS 360MB ($300). In case you are not familiar with these cards they are DirectX 10 ready which is cool for Windows Vista and future DX10 games. In product reviews I've read a single 8800GTX...

Hi, this is a followup to a news thread I started a while back. I am restoring on old Gateway2000 4DX-33 (33 MHz 486!). It has an on board Cirrus Logic video chip and 1 MB of video RAM. I have now acquired a Diamond Speedstar 64 ISA card, with 2 MB of video RAM and would like to use it instead...

This happens all the time, and is an easy fix (insofar as PCs are easy to fix...) Your Gateway PC came with a set of restore /recovery disks. You can use these, or you can hit the Gateway support website (have your order or customer number handy) to get the latest downloads for your PC. I think...

I got a second hand computer...no manuals. I wiped out windows and installed slack linux....this is not a Linux question. Regardless, having problems with a serial port config and modem then discovered something about the bios. Does anyone know or is it possible that the bios info is stored on...

We need to repair/replace the power connector but can't seem to get the case open after the screws are removed -- suspect there's a "trick" to it. Anyone ? Tnx Jim H.

If I move my laptop while it is in "stand by"... is there a danger of damaging the disk, drive or whatever? In other words is everything really locked down? TIA... bj

I just got a new box, an E6400. I hate games...so which one do I want? I want to use the power and widescreen to see what I hate. I'll play it a few times. My teenage daughter MIGHT play it too. Thanks! -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Okay, I know I must be dense... My sister-in-law is getting rid of a Gateway Solo 9550. I'd like to get under the hood, but I'm having a hard time removing the keyboard! I was trying to follow the instructions posted at: http://www.laptopsolutions.plc.uk/solo_9300_assembly_disassembly.htm Step 2...
