Need Immediate Help!
My Gateway GT5408 Vista crashed. The screen reads Boot Manager. It tells you to put in the CD & then hit repair. I only have an upgrade CD. I tried that & it didn't help. It gives me a "no signal" screen and then it automatically goes back to the Boot Manager screen. The orginial Vista was installed when I purchased it. I really need the computer asap. It's used for school & work! Please help. Thanks! -- vccaan |

The "no signal" message means that there is no signal going from your video card to your monitor. There's no way of telling from here what hardware component(s) is/are involved. I doubt it is only your video card, but it will take someone skilled who can look at the machine directly to do an accurate diagnosis. Probably the most efficient thing you could do at this point is to take the machine to a qualified computer professional. I don't recommend using a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place. Alternately, if the computer is still under warranty you should call Gateway tech support. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |
