Whenever I turn off my computer by clicking on the Shut Down button it turns off right but when i turn it on the on button lights up but i dont hear the fan turn on or anything, so then i have to manually turn it off by holding the power button for 10 seconds and then i have to wait for 2 or so minutes to turn it on and it turns on normally.
But a few weeks ago when i tried to do that it seemed like it was normal but the fan started going superspeed and nothing came up on the monitor. I kept trying to restart it and unplug it and everything but it wouldn't go back to normal. Then i emailed gateway and they gave me a long list of thing i could try which half i had already tried. One thing said unplug everything besides the monitor, leave the computer unplugged for 5 minutes then turn on the computer and another said try a different monitor, so i did those two and it worked. So then i just switched back to my normal monitor, plugged everything back in and it was good. I hadn't turned it off since then and last night the computer restarted itself for an update and now it wont turn on again. i tried what had worked before but it wont work anymore.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The computer is a pretty new computer, only a year and a half old.
I feel maybe i should mention that recently i downgraded from Vista to XP and my video card was no longer installed....if that makes any difference
