Internal or external webcam? Internal webcam, Re download your webcam driver here:http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/2009/MSeries/M-6884h/M-6884hnv.shtml

Sounds like the hard drive isn't getting power,the data cable to the drive isn't connected,or the drive controller on the motherboard is toast(I'm a novice tinkerer,not an expert).

I'm guessing the different monitors are different sizes? The only thing a driver for a monitor will do will tell the computer the max resolution that the monitor will be able to go up to. However most 90% of monitors can use the built in windows driver without issues. Your best bet is going to be to change the resolution on the monitor. To do this you can either hook up the old monitor, lower the resolution, and then plug in the other monitor. Or you can boot the computer into VGA low resolution mode by pressing F8 as the computer starts up and selecting that option. From there you can lower the resolution, and then put it at something more desirable with the new monitor.
The other possibility being your Gateway monitor is actually malfunctioning and you just happened to hook up a bad monitor.

I suspect that the hard drive motor is going out. Try a new hard drive. If it doesn't fix it, you can always return it.
Good luck,
James.

It's flashing because it's trying to load via the hard drive.

What have you tried so far?

Safe Mode, boot cd, etc?

If display issue: connect an external monitor to see if any change.

Could be spyware - boot in Safe Mode (F8) - download, install and run SpyBot (spybot.com).

Good luck.

Kindly check the Gateway used in the computer where internet is working.....
