Have you considered doing a complete recovery of your operational system, I'am suggesting this because of the fact you have to many program conflicts due to device drivers that are not working properly.
check your cupplers left side right side and make sure your wires
did not separate, this may happen because the headphones where
dropped or cord was hanked or nagged.
For this particular model, only a generic users guide is offered at this link. The model specific guide is loaded onto the hard drive of the computer itself.
Please?Could you?Would appreciate?Thank you in advance?Let\'s try to maintain a professional approach here, even if it is only an illusion...............Moving on..............I see from search hits on the internet;That the problem may be no graphics, due to graphics chipset mounting; due to inadequate cooling for the graphics chipset.\'Repair\', (Ha I like how they toss that word around), is to replace the motherboard.Then upon a certain amount of time later, the same issue happens again.\'Repair\'? ............Oh, yeah...............replace the motherboard again.This = NO solutionAre there no REAL techs out there anymore?To PROPERLY repair the problem, you must STOP the cause from happening again.Otherwise it\'s like bumping your head against a hard object, only to repeat it again.............., again, and again..........No learning ability.No learning as to what caused the problem in the first place, and try to develop a long lasting solution to the problem.I believe that is somewhere along the lines of snail mentality.Not homo sapiens.[Do snails have a measurable mentality? I - don\'t - know.Hey it\'s MY solution, lol! Tell this story anyway I want]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9psRUnJnR3oNo, keep the h-ate mail. I realize this isn\'t a Service Manual, nor pictorial disassembly guide.You gets what I gets.1) Have your ESD wrist strap on? Connected the aligator clip to a good ground source? Average cost is around $3 to $5.This is a laptop disguised as a desktop computer.Once you remove the Back Cover, and the large metal Static Shield, the highly static sensitive hardware parts are now exposed.You can static shock them out, and not even know it.POOF! No computer. [The most susceptible hardware component to Static shock, is the Processor. (CPU ]2) Views of the casing parts, and Stand; shown removed.Posted because it becomes more apparent, how removal should proceed.You can see the screw holes, and determine where the screws are.Labels, small cover, etc; may be in the way, not allowing this.You can get a \'feel\' of where each cover component, fits together with each other. Helps to simplify removal.How removal of a small cover, etc; may lead to get to the Stand\'s hinge screws.At least that is the premise.........Stand -http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Gateway-ZX4300-All-One-Back-Hinge-Computer-Stand-/261172572334?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccf1930aeRear Cover - views, shown removed,http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Gateway-ZX4300-All-One-Rear-Cover-Door-Black-3LEL2SSTN10-EBEL2008010-/261172568932?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccf192364Outside view, Inside view, and Side views; of the Back Cover, removed.http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Guine-Gateway-ZX4300-All-One-LCD-Back-Cover-Casing-3QEL2BCTN30-/261173027213?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccf20218dLarge metal Static Shield. Also known as Fan Cover.This because it also directs the flow of air from the fan, over the various hardware components that need cooling.Looks highly inadequate for the job; to me,http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Guine-Gateway-ZX4300-All-One-Motherboard-Fan-Cover-Panel-3ZEL2MSTN20-/181085475935?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2989145fFront Bezel,http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Gateway-AIO-ZX4300-01E-Front-Bezel-With-WebCam-and-Speaker-Set-34EL2FBTN60-/140919202182?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20cf706186Suggest use a multi-compartment container, for the various screws you will remove.Label each compartment for the area the screw/s come out of.SOME screws look VERY similar to other screws.Advise DO NOT mix them up.In the video;A) Where the young gentleman states using a credit card, (1:16), and popping all the little clips off..........Umm, not quite like that.............They don\'t come off.You are just removing the Back Cover FROM the mounted clips, on the metal frame.The credit card depresses those metal clips. Releases the Tabs on the Back Cover.Case parts from front to rear;Front Bezel / Back Cover / Rear CoverDuck and Cover (NO............you gonna\' believe that last one?)Rear Cover:Looks to be 2 small Philips head screws to remove. 1 at each Top corner.Bottom of Rear Cover has 2 U-shaped Latches. These SIT on Tabs.When screws are removed from Top, ease the top out towards you a little; then lift up, and out.Hinged Stand:Looks to be 2 screws each, to remove from the Hinge\'s brackets.Could be wrong, may be 1 each, but of course YOU will know.You\'re looking at it, lol!Back Cover:Remove 1 screw each from all four outside corners. (Philips)Using the credit card, slide around the area, in-between the Back Cover, and metal frame.Remove Back Cover.Cooling System:Cooling Tube, Heatsink, Fan AssemblyIn the video look at 2:47 (Or in-between shakes. Not bad mouthing)Here is a better view, just upside down,http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Gateway-ZX4300-Motherboard-12V-MBGAW06002-main-system-board-TESTED-/290887096728?pt=Motherboards&hash=item43ba38d998(You can click to enlarge)Here you see the curved copper Cooling Tube.Come from the black Fan Assembly, up the Cooling Tube; and stop at the first small aluminum metal plate.Six rivets, three on each side; two long small metal \'arms\' sticking out.That small aluminum plate sits on the GPU.(Graphics chipset, or more properly known; GPU.Graphics Processing Unit)Come up to the large cast Aluminum plate. Four long small \'arms\' stick out, make an X-pattern.That plate sits on the CPU. (Processor)Fan Assembly:That weird D-shaped black shroud, with the small black multi-bladed fan in it.Heatsink:That rectangular shaped area at the bottom, of the Fan Assembly.Fan Assembly removes, and first. Unplug fan cable from motherboard. Heatsink is part of Cooling Tube.4 screws to remove from processor plate, 2 screws to remove from graphics chipset metal plate.Lift Cooling Tube/Heatsink off.More in Comment
If the audio was working earlier and than all of a sudden quit working I suggest making sure that it is plugged into the correct port, than restart the computer and try to play a song than. If it still doesn't work, sounds like your on-board audio card is finished. ALSO make sure your volumes aren't muted.
Find the picture you want to appear on the background then RIGHT
CLICK on it and select the option to SET AS DESKTOP BACKGROUND.Or Go into the Control Panel and change the Desktop Background.Click Start/Control Panel and look for Display or Personalization and Appearance and change the background on the display.
You should go to the Gateway site and look up that model.Here's the link:http://support.gateway.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=3931FYI, there should be a little door on the back that has one or two screws that, when unfastened, expose the memory. But look it up just to be sure
I hope your system was infected with a massive list of viruses which in fact modified your system files and made your system as their host. When your antivirus removed all the virus infections, it deleted the host files too which made your system unstable to work. You can solve this by two methods:
Either restore your system using a startup disk. But for this, you may require a startup disk which you have created previously.
You may reinstall/ fresh install your Operating System(OS) and this may require the help of a service technician.
Hope this will solve your problems. And for future, you must be careful while scanning your system with an antivirus. Ensure that you have set "the action to be performed after detecting the threat" as"heal" and not "remove" or "delete".
