    I am sure your Post will make it to the Gateway part of the Forum. But I can try and help the best I can.... 

     

    What model of DX do you have? What software are you using and how is it that it isn't booting? Does it show anything? Can you get to BIOS? 

     

    What steps have you taken to try and get it to boot?

     

    Does it turn on but no access to the HDD? Have you tried to Boot to a USB stick or CD?

     

    If you have a No BOOT meaning nothing not even BIOS!? It could be RAM issue, MB Issue, CPU issue, GPU issue, and PSU issue.

    I have the same problem.  My Gateway DX4885 crashed within a month after the warranty expired. Go figure!  Spent $800 for useless furniture.

     

    Fan turns on, but no display, will not boot.  Getting 1 short beep at boot, 10 seconds later, another short beep.  Frustated with Gateway support, forget it, because warranty is expired.  

     

    Moved memory around, same problem.  Plugged another HD in it, same problem.  Guessing MOBO is shot.
