I replaced the motherboard on my Gateway Gt5220 this summer after the mb mysteriously fried, then had the power supply replaced from a local computer shop. Since the replacement though, the high level graphics won't work as well as the graphics on the dvd player. Is it possible that he hooked up wires incorrectly when he replaced the power supply, or that I hooked up wires incorrectly to the mb when I replaced it. I was very careful to note which connections went to which pins.
Gateway was absolutely no help although the computer was just out of warranty. I appreciate any help!

- The monitor screen looks normal when not displaying a DVD but when I play a DVD, I am getting varied graphics, and sometimes, almost nothing. I tried some different configurations and got a DVD to play briefly with video showing but when my son put his game in, the same problem came back. So, I have been troubleshooting since and discovered that there is an error in the 3D graphics. So, currently, I am updating through microsoft, the directX in hopes that it might help to correct the problem.

computer or monitor shuts off on it's own, then boots itself back up in a few minutes. Seems to go into some kind of power save mode even though that's not enabled. Help.
