Hello,
my name is carey. I have a gateway Model GT5220, AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core 3800+ processor,340 gig hd, geforce video, 2 gig ram, dvd, cd, etc. 2 fans on mb, A huge fan for thecpu and another smaller one in back of case. recently i have had to press the power on button sometimes 30-100 times to get the computer to come on. And I have to hold the power on button in for 10-15 secs for it to shut down?
Know I cannot get it to even start. No Beeps what so ever when trying to start computer. All I get is no signal on the screen and the lights will go on for a split second then go out. All thehat is on is the fans! I thought it was the power on button itself, which I replaced , to no avail...does the same thing.

Things that I have tried= unplugging the screen for 24hrs , reseating and cleaning all plugins and power connectors, etc. vacuumed the entire inside on the computer out. Next I will try swapping around the ram cards , reseating the cmos battery, reseating the cpu, and then lastly trying a different hd, whcih i have on hand?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated by all.
Thanks much, carey
