My computer was a Gateway - Windows XP Media. The problem we think was the motherboard. A lightning storm came up one night after we were asleep (very unexpectedly, or I would have shut down the pc and unplugged it as I normally do during an electrical storm, because I had one fried by lightning once before). I knew it got my modem that next morning, but everything else seemed okay, and I replaced the modem that day. It still seemed fine for about two weeks, then multiple errors and problems started happening almost every day for the past 4 weeks. Last week it wouldn't turn off without unplugging it, then it wouldn't start Windows when I plugged it back in.
The tests that the techs ran all indicated the motherboard, and I would have had them replace it even though the parts and labor would cost as much as buying a new one. It would have been worth it to me, just to have all my files and stuff there as I wanted them because the harddrive was okay and all the files were okay. However, in trying to find a motherboard to replace it, they found that Gateway had quit making that particular one, since Windows XP was being phased out by Windows Vista.
And, I did buy another Gateway. :) I do like their computers and really can't blame them for the electrical storm. But this time I bought a 3 year extended replacement warranty, which will almost guarantee I won't have ANY problems for the next 3 years. :)
