    Gateway Profile4 Wont Boot
    « on: July 13, 2008, 02:30:42 PM »
    I tried to replace inside power supply board didnt help at all..?

    is maybe the motherboard fried and or the bios corrupted maybe..?

    after rebooting 10-12 times it finally will boot up into Windows.

    or lastly is it maybe the exteranl power supply.

    thanks
    GP

      I don't really have any suggestions other than trying this HD on another computer (Master/slave) and see if it's a problem with the Hardware or Hard Drive.

          Well that would qualify as a laptop since that design used laptop components otherwise it wouldn't fit ...
          What exactly did you replace and why ? ?
