Ok here is the problem
I was playing a game... and talking on ventrilo, and basically my computer froze and i was hearing a high pitched noise, yet i could still see things happening on the screen and people were still talking on ventrilo, yet i was unable to do anything. i waited a little while thinking it might catch up with itself, but nothing and i Hard-shutdown the computer.
I started the computer back up (flashes gateway) and then where it would normally go into windows i get this long error message with a bunch of different numbers and codes. i contacted gateway customer service they told me it was my videocard (i got a geforce 7900gt about 6 months ago) i reinstalled the one that came with the comp and still same error code. and the problem didnt happen until 6 months later???
I tried to get into the bios but it doesnt let me.
I tried to installed the repair disk and tried to get something from that.. the CD ROM recognizes it and i continue, but as soon as i do i get the error message that i had been getting all along. i have an extra band new hard drive laying around but i want to make sure before i shotgun parts at it.
Any help would be greats thanks in advance
