You should download Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool, run a test on the processor just to confirm if it shows some errors and if it is working at the correct temperature and specifications: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool
Your V-core voltage could be too low(you can fix this by rising the v-core) or your processor could be damage.

1. what duocore2 cpu did you buy and upgrade your gateway with ?
2. please confirm the original machine upgraded is the ET1831-05
3. can you open case and look at motherboard and find a identifying label/name or model marked on it please.

I am asking these questions because the information your providing so far , only shows upgrades done to this motherboard to an E5400, not Duo core 2 CPu's, it is not because a motherboard has LGA 775 that it will support Duo 2 Core or Duo 2 Quad CPUs' and if they do, only certain Cpus are covered and not all.

So i checked and found three labels but on the motherboard it says v1.2? and by it the label says MCP73VT-PM and sorry i don't know which label it is just to let you know i've also upgraded the os to win 10 it was win 7 but then microsoft was telling me that it was outdated and also says i will get virus and malware easy that's why i upgraded the core i bought is an E8400 duo core USED but the seller said it works and checked everything was fine. The reason why i upgraded my CPU was because it kept on running on 100% usage and fan was always loud also it was very unresponsive and really really slow if anything please let me know and thanks for the help

every where else I queried about Cpu capable on this motherboard, the most common cpu was e6500 and e7500, never saw e8400 mentioned. It is possible the cpu you got used , is not "good" as seller states...

one thing you can try real quick is disconnect your power supply from the wall, open case, and slip the battery sized battery from the motherboard for 2-3 min and put it back in then apply power and try to boot to see if it will help.

Alternatively from the manual https://www.scribd.com/doc/183510552/Manual-Ecs-Mcp73vt-Pm

I don't know what to do anymore im only 15 trying to learn how to build a decent gaming desktop right now i'm having issues and spent my own earnings for nothing because yes i bought the CPU at amazon for a cheap price and also bought 8gb sticks of ram i just got it today and it seems not to work i even checked the specs on it and it should work i've been staying up all night trying to fix it because i didnt wanna waste all the money i got which is like over 200
i'm having a new problem now guys where located or around my cpu its making this weird buzzing noise and i'm afraid i think i broke it the seller of the cpu said it works 100% sure and they said they tested it also the ram the seller said its compatible with all branded desktop i really appreciate your guys help but i might take a break on this building up thing and might as well save up for a gaming laptop I been working on this desktop maybe over 2 months and i guess its not going out well if any more suggestions you still can tell me if you anyone have an answer for this thank you very much for you help

I can see and understand your frustration, You should have asked us first before you decided to build a new PC using old hardware..Your main problem is that you are building or builded a new rig using really old and used outdated hardware. Most of your hardware including your motherboard was released around 14 years ago, that means you won't get support for new drivers, software or games. And new intensive games won't play well with your hardware and drivers.

A laptop will be a better option for you and your budget..

Yeah your right I just wanted to try and build myself an decent desktop so I can learn how computers work but now I can see how hard it is I see on YouTube we’re others build up old desktop it looks easy but when I tried it myself it was very frustrating and wasted lots of money but I really appreciate all the help you guys gave me I tried your guys advice it did not work but you know at least you guys tried to help me there’s just that one thing what am I gonna do with all these parts and that desktop? I don’t think anyone would wanna buy such low end stuff now that desktops are more advance now days

 

[YoAndy]

You can always try to sell those parts on Ebay. Is easier to build a PC using new parts.

your welcome , we try.

I would put the old processor back on it, it can still be a "decent" desktop (not gaming) to mess with.
I have an old 14year old Du Core 2 System Myself, and use it every day for office work and video playing. see work pc in my signature.
