I have a select 750 (AMD Athlon 750MHz, Jabil Kadoka motherboard). It came with a 20GB HD, Win98. I wanted to use a 120GB HD with pre-installed XP on it. But after choosing the OS on bootup, nothing happens.. I updated the BIOS so it can see larger HDs now but to no avail.. Has anyone run into this...

My son is giving me a Gateway Radeon 9600 Video Card. Will it work properly on my Lexington (Gateway machine) Motherboard. It will be replacing a Radeon 8500. Bill

My GW Select 1000 pc AMD 2001 Motherboard has an AGP slot rated up to 4x which currently holds my old NVidia Vanta card. I just ordered a new GeForce FX5200 video card which can run at AGP 8x. This card, despite its faster 8x spec rating , will run in my AGP 4x slot, wont it? Incidentally, I...

I am using a custom built computer and a deskjet832c printer. The printer has always worked perfectly and still does except it suddenly quit printing in black ANOTHER EXCEPT when I print pages from the web. I can print the New York Times ok, but if it is a file in Word or WP 11 it just comes...

My computer wont stay its keeps restarting and shutting down at the same time. I cant keep it on long enought to run a diagnostics. Please I need help The computer is only 2 years old. :cry:

Hi Any help would be good on this one. I've got a K7T266 board with an Athlon CPU. My other hard drive (WD) is 140GB and I had no problems installing that. I've tried running the Seagate Tools progrm and I've made sure that

The card pictured on eBay is right for an NLX case, because it has an NLX bracket. The 8MB is more than the amount on the motherboard, so the system will be capable of handling more colors and higher resolution. AFAIK, only three graphics chipsets (ATI, Matrox, Elsa) were ever used with NLX AGP...

Got a brochure late today and it "sorta" profiles GW 21 in monitor for $599 which I think is an unbelieveable low price. I have one of their older 18.1" flat panels and have had nothing but pleasure from it. Haven't called them yet for more specs but has anyone seen/heard anything about this piece...

Does anyone know the best one to have? I tried Webroot and Spy Doctor though Spy Doctor pick ups more then what Webroot does. Any other ones to try? Thanks, Mike

Much regards to all. Question: With my desktop computers, they get turned on at first use in the day, and then closed down at night time. Since I am fairly new to actually owning a laptop(a few months) would this action still be the same? I sometimes only use the laptop, for about a half hour in...

I bought my wife a used Gateway GP7-600. I blanked the hard drive, reformatted, installed Windows ME and all the software for peripherals. Computer works great, but whenever I attempt to do system restore or certain changes to the system, the computer reboots automatically as soon as changes are...

I bought a Gateway 800c Essential PC for cheap with no mouse or keyboard. Most of the time when I boot up the machine, the light is yellow and is in some sleep mode or something. I'm assuming I need the actual Gateway keyboard with a hot button that will turn it "on"? I used other keyboards...

My son in-law gave me a Gateway Solo 9150 notebook. He lost or misplaced its documentation, installation Cd's etc. so I am pretty much in the dark here. It runs on Win98SE. When I get to Display Properties and want to change the resolution from 640x480 the slider can not be moved. How can I change...

Is there some trick involved in getting a secondary hard drive recognised on a Performance 933? I tried putting AUTO in the BIOS (amibios dated 7/7/2000) (and saving the configuration of course when it asked me if I wanted to do this) and nothing I can do will let it see any secondary hard drive on...

Amazed to see that at $46 mil he is one of 10 highest in country. Not bad for someone on the job for ~2 years. Made half as much last year. Teetering on new GW or Dell for next pc - this clinches it for me ;( Frank

So they say, we will see. Just got my 450X back from the repair folks for the third time. This time they replaced the motherboard so I am much more hopeful that they have finally cured the problem. Interestingly, through all three trips they didn't do the one thing they always tell the...

Hi, I recently acquired an older Gateway machine that uses the Intel 815 chipset. It has motherboard-integrated graphics. For better performance I've fitted a separate AGP video card. Recently I found out about a thing Intel call a Graphics Perfornace Accelerator (GPA). As far as I can tell it a...

I have a few questions. Is it possible if I put the wrong CPU in a Solo 1450, that it will ruin the motherboard? The chip that came out of it was is a 1.33ghz 256 cache. It went bad...I'm assuming. I no longer have that chip. Anyway. I got a 1.13ghz 512 cache and put in it. The same...

I heard a rumor that Microsoft may try to buy Gateway. Would that be a good thing? Scott

What is the maximum hard disk size I can put in a Gateway G6-266 Mhz? Specs: Intel AL440LX, latest Gateway BIOS revision (P18), 192 Mb RAM (not that that matters), original 4 Gb harddisk and 32 speed Mitsumi CD-ROM (both installed as masters), running Windows 98SE. I want to install the drive as...
