The cmos battery holds the charge for the cmos which is the part of the bios the user can change. CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) uses fleld effect transistors (FETs) at their voltage input. FETs have very high input resistance. In circuit analysis programs they’re usually modeled as having infinite resistance. Because of this they pull very little current and that’s why cmos batteries usually last for years.
Cmos batteries don’t get damaged unless they’re mishandled. As with any battery in use their rated voltage drops and eventually they need to be replaced. My experience has been that the 3 volt coin-sized cmos batteries most often used now will hold the cmos settings until their voltage drops to abouit 1 volt.
If you need to check the status of the battery just put a DC voltmeter to it. You don’t really need to put a load to them when checking the voltage since their current draw is negligible and the meter input resistance is high.
You can run a PC without the cmos battery but because the cmos holds the date and time when the PC is off those features will default to the original bios date. So if for some reason you are running it without the battery–or with a dead battery–you need to set the date and time after booting the computer. Web certificates and some software will give errors if the computer date is too far off.

My guess is that the problem wasn’t really solved specifically by changing the view from Normal to Page Layout, but merely by the change in view as Mike hinted at.
A quick test would be to toggle back and forth between Normal and Page Layout and see if the multiple column selection problem returns and goes away with each toggle of the 2 modes. I’m guessing it won’t.
My guess is that you were a victim of the annoying “multiple cell selection” bug that showed up in Excel 2007 and beyond and changing the view cleared it up for the time being.
Personally, I would have just kept the 5000+ & overclocked it. They can generally handle up to 3.2GHz without too much fuss.Anyhow, the only possible cause of overheating is inadequate cooling. 57C is awfully warm for a CPU at idle so either the paste is applied wrong, the heatsink is installedRead more
Personally, I would have just kept the 5000+ & overclocked it. They can generally handle up to 3.2GHz without too much fuss.
Anyhow, the only possible cause of overheating is inadequate cooling. 57C is awfully warm for a CPU at idle so either the paste is applied wrong, the heatsink is installed incorrectly (not properly seated & fully locked in place), or you used a 65W rated heatsink on a 89W CPU. But even if you used the wrong heatsink, I wouldn’t think it would cause the CPU to shutdown, but it would run hotter than normal.
Some heatsink locking levers need quite a bit of force to lock them in place. Make sure you’re pushing it all the way down.

If you are in the UK disconnect the third phone wire from the phone sockets and the internet will be faster. This wire is for old fashioned bells and twirly dials so I doubt you need it. Most BT engineers are now leaving it disconnected.

The negative contact in the battery socket may not be making contact. bend it to correct. You could also check with Gateway to see if there is a BIOS update to address this problem.

Below is a link to Gateway downloads. It appears there may be some BIOS updates. The latest one gives no reason for the update. Be aware that flashing the BIOS MAY result in a non operational computer.
