Hi

Let us know your model; motherboard specs and as your now asking, someone here can point in the right direction.

Useful info can be found free by bringing up the Device Manager [right click My computer click properties] Go to system. expand. You should see lines with pentium or similar. There should also be some lines with numbers in them [represent MB chips] Post [a copy of the lines] this info back and someone can help you much better.

Hi

You have a 440 chipset, and as lx motherboards are common, I would guess you have a 440 LX.

Gateway Support

You will need your serial number, and hopefully this site can hepl you.
