Wow, a Gateway 300X (complete model name) - that thing was $1200 ten years ago (according to a review I found). But, it is 10 years old and as far as support from Gateway, they seem to only go back to the 400 series for support. I think you are in for a long jurney of research in an attempt to keep that machine running. The only thing I can say that may be of help is I know that Foxconn and Intel both supplied Gateway at some point or another over the years (and others no doubt) - you can try googling any numbers/letters on the mobo, see if anything comes up that way. The chipset is what will define the drivers you need and likely it is covered by a heatsink - if it is not, you should be able to find out info by checking those numbers - if there is a heatsink and you've run out of other options, it can be removed but they use a very strong thermal tape to hold it in place - you might look to youtube for removal ideas (you would have to get thermal tape to replace it).

Good luck, don't get frustrated but remember it is old going on to ancient.

I thought I would try to start up our old Gateway from 2002 and I can't get it to reach the login screen. It's running Windows XP and after it shows this image the screen just goes black and the computer continues to run, but won't load Windows.

I have tried booting with the last known good configuration and booting normally and neither have worked so far. Do you guys have any suggestions? Edit: Nvm, I got it to start. Now I've got to get Speccy on there to see all the specs. So far I know it has a Pentium 4 @2GHz and a Radeon 8500 graphics card.
