Building a new PC is not an option.
How about this, I put my serial number into the gateway support documents and found the information to my computer. I downloaded this exe file that they instructed me to save to my desktop. Then they told me a bunch of other instructions, but I ended up falling asleep and woke up now and I must be going to work.
I believe it was labeled a bios driver or something. Might this solve my problem? Kind of a dumb question, I know, but I'm just curious to know what it will do since I'm on my way out the door to work for the night.
BTW - Since when does a new mobo require a new ram? I've NEVER heard of this.
Edit - What about vice versa? I put new ram in my computer with the original motherboard. I'm just not seeing how a new motherboard dictates new ram. Maybe I'm wrong or misunderstanding, but right now I just don't understand how I can't drop in a new motherboard that is compatible with my processor.
