Agreed. It would be cheaper and easier to just get a newer MB. You might even find the new ones with newer chipsets better than the one you are trying to fix.

    Christos Makariou Jan 23, 2015

    Newer chipsets cannot be run by win98 drivers since there is no support! The only option is to use newer machines and run a VMWARE like software with it but I dont like the husle of learning Virtual machine setups. Lets keep it simple and fix the board. It would save the environment and that is the real cheap solution becouse for every new mother board the earth gets clobered with lots of toxic stuff which you did not take into acount. Also Entropy will increase much more by throwing the board in the recycling bin since it would end up in a third world country burned to crisp for a few dollars worth of solder!

SOURCE: Gateway Intel 850 Socket 478 ATX Motherboard Power Supply

Please use the following as a reference: ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide, http://www.formfactors.org/developer/specs/ATX12V_PSDG_2_2_public_br2.pdf

Sections 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 (Page 38) list the signal and wire colors for the +12V2DC (2x2 pin) and Peripheral (Molex) Connectors. Figure 11 (page 36) shows diagrams of the connectors and pin-outs for reference.

Most likely, you are looking for the 2x2 pin connector; pins 1&2 are common (black wire), pins 3&4 are +12V2DC (yellow wire w/black stripe)

SOURCE: Changing FSB & Voltages

Hi there.
You can change the front side bus in the bios if the bios supports it, if it does be very careful not to overclock the processor to much as you can cause damage to the motherboard and blow the processor up, also bear in mind that cooling is very important when it comes to overclocking.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

It looks like you have the maximum processor specification that will work with the current board. If I were you I would invest in at least a new motherboard for the PC you can find them on ebay for less than $50 some of which will support even the first generation i series processors.

I need another mother board for gateway MX8711&the dead mother board tag is 1PA6A000128....i need it badly cos i cannot afford a new 1..
I see some listed on "ebay" right now.Here's the links: I would try "Mundo Corp". They have 2 MX8711 motherboards listed,although the part number is not the same as the one you specified.
However, it is common for manufacturers to produce identical items with different part numbers,often reflecting improvements or production runs.
I would check out Mundo corp,because the specialize in Gateway. here's the link to their website:

Would like to upgrade my motherboard. What are some compatible models for a gateway M305CRV
Hello,

Unfortunately notebook PCs can't be upgraded like desktop PCs can. Each model can only use that specific motherboard. The full specs for your notebook can be found here: http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Gateway/M305CRV/3501715sp58.shtml This shows that that board can use either a Celeron processor or a Pentium 4 Mobile processor, both need to be the 100mhz buss speed versions. If you have the Celeron model notebook you can gain a little speed by replacing the chip and going to the Pentium 4 chip but it still will not be up to current notebook speeds because of the 100mhz buss speed of the board. Your best bet would be sell the laptop and get a new one. You an catch one on sale at Office Depot, Staples or Best Buy for about $400. You should be able to sell your unit for $150-250 and then put what you were going to use for a motherboard and you will be about at the price of a new one.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

just start over and buy a motherboard and processor and memory and plug your stuff into it. you will need an operating system because the emachines operating system only workes with an emachines motherboard. emachines is the cheap brand from gateway and i have had nothing but trouble with those machines.

Why didn't Gateway recall GT4010?
Gateway, Or the "cow computers" require you to update and pay for ALL drivers necessary to keep your computer working. As far as a motherboard is concerned, there is a part number on the board and you can go to many sites to buy a used or new motherboard, but, and this is IMPORTANT, you need to know the type of SOCKET your processor is plugged into. Your processor is made one way, but with different pin configurations.
Your "posts" are messages from other people complaining about Gateway, they're not fix actions. Hopefully this helps. My e-mail

Should i get rid of this gateway
Before getting rid think twice. Because the value you for second selling is very low, Buying a new one is quite an asset. If the problem you had is minor i suggest to keep it otherwise (Problem with motherboard, processor) then get rid of it.
