flawed logic :( just because it WAS working dosn't mean it curruntly IS working.

cpu/fan is the easiest to check so is the first one look at.

198102 2003-12-12 19:33:00 Thanks greatly to all who contributed.

Following instructions it became obvious that the power supply was not functioning correctly (Not much dust, fans worked OK, but then everything would turn off.

Turned out that Gateway used a 70W power supply and I suspect that it just wasn't up to the job in the medium to long haul.

Once again thanks
