Gateway 310 wont start up

[hickoryhusker04]

i have a Gateway 310 desktop that acts like it wants to start up but the CPU turns on and then the moniter just sits there in the screen that says "MONITER SELF TEST"  i took the side cover off and nothing appears to be friend just a red flashing LED that flashes whenever the computer is on

You are going to have to be more elaborate.

1. You took the hood off the monitor or system case?
2. What kind of flashing LED are you referring to? HDD activity led or the monitor LED?

Suggestions:

1. Properly seat videocard
2. Replace videocard
3. Properly connect monitor
4. Replace monitor
