Re: Computer go BOOM!
What do you mean it won't start? Please provide tech support with more info? Does it boot, but not load the OS? Can you access the bios?

Re: Computer go BOOM!
Have you tried unplugging the additional drive and starting it up? Very unlikely, but your power supply unit might not be able to handle an extra drive on top of whatever else it is running on your machine.

Totally dead. The tech suggested I try the power supply out of the Dell, but I'd rather he muck about in it at this point. Power supply or motherboard.klr wrote:No power, no nothing at all?

How much does a mother board cost? Gateway FX 6840 if that matters.

Re: Computer go BOOM!
As much as you're prepared to spend. I'm assuming it's only the board that's (possibly) kaput and all other components* are OK, which may not be the case.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:Totally dead.

PSU (well, duh

RAM
Graphics card (I assume you have a separate card)
CPU
CPU fan/heatsink (if powered)
Any other fans
Hard drives
Optical drives
... and so on.

How much would it cost to replace the current motherboard?
