your pc is being infected, sorry for your files but only solutions is reformat and next time put the best antivirus and turn on your deep freeze..

There are two main causes:

battery is bad
component on motherboard has gone out.

There isn't much you can do to solve (hopefully it's still under warranty) if you can try to find someone with a similar model, as long as the battery fits and it's from Gateway you can use another battery to test whether the "new" battery charges or not.

As a last resort you can also try updating the bios but it's rare that it will resolve the issue.

let me know if you have any other questions

Start > Control Panel > Add.remove components > You can found media player there. Just uncheck and Ok.. It will uninstall. Restart your machine and again go to the same path and check mark the windows media player.

Check now its working.

You might find this site helpful. Your exact Model is not there but an MT is there with instructions on LCD replacement. It may be close enough to get you through if you're good at fixing things. Gateway does ot provide Service Manuals online and their User Manuals don't cover LCD replacement.

Hope it helps.

Try getting a charger, this happened to my laptop, the wire inside the insulation breaks.

Most likely the pcb is defective for the volume control and must be replaced. But try looking in the device manager to see if anything has been disabled or has not been properly installed. Parts such as these can be replaced if they are not soldered onto the motherboard and can be swapped right out. If they are soldered onto the motherboard then your whole system would need to be sent in for repair.

Hello, with all laptops, its the Num Lock key that turnes hotkeys off or on.

If this laptop was purchased new, I suggest you return it to the supplier to have it repaired under warranty. If you try to repair it yourself you may void your warranty.

you are confused ( the rules are not singular ever) first of all these are the rules on DDR3 (any mem) upgrades

1. gateway manual covers this but no GW model told.
2. bios shows its ok or upgraded , bios now works.
3. chipset allows this DDR3 and that same density
4. not violating slot limits or both at once limits
5. matching sku on DDR3, says intel clearly.
6. no PC does 32BG with that chip set,. (none sold so no way on the earth to test it ever in that YEAR NEW) but is a logical limit only in the i3 MMC. per its datasheet intel.com
7. try the bios upgrade,
8. NO OS told at all, nor how you know 8GB fails does bios see it>????? if the OS is 32bit max is 4GB (3.2GB with video stealing VRAM from Dram per chipset H67.
9. is this a real intel mobo?> as some are, then if yes ask intel too for help.
10. intel bios is BLH6710H.86A date. Version 0162 or later 2018
11. Most old mobo do not like super new DDR3 it high density DRAM on the sticks, some do if bios upgrade.
12. Intel is mute now on this Discontinuted product. theirs"

Gateway M what does this mean,???? M is notebook not desktop so you posted to gateway forum for any intel actual mobo DH67CL if this mobo came from intel new, then only ask them or post to intel forum not gateway but gee I do know some old makers of PC simply stuffed in this mobo into there cases and sold it by there name. but no GW model told AT ALL. been here yet https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000021462/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards.html RTM from maker, do as they say. and over 4GB needs 64bit OS. the 32GB limit includes PCI memory too, see page 40 , and know that your unstated OS must know how to use the upper memory bank of the MMC controller 4 slots of DDR3 are there. (4x8=32) make sure BIOS likes it first NOT WINDOWs (if is>?) bios is first and bios tells windoz how much DDR3 is there, and works with that. 32BG is possible if all things are correct BIOS if it scans the SPD chip in the DDR3 each , and BIOS is does not know what it sees , it will truncate DDR. max.
