Gateway 800 turns on, but black screen, and doesn't boot up at all
I have a gateway desktop 800 and when i go to turn it on, the light turns on and the harddrive spins but nothing happens and screen stays blank. Tried a different power supply but no different. Before this happend i got a error that said "Applicaion layer gateway service" had to close it then locked up and shut off, and never turned on since.
When pushing your power button, try to hold it a while for a few times.
Don't hold too long or it will turn off again.
Did you get any beeps from the system? or totally quite ?

Well, when i take the cpu out and turn it on is does nothing. Also i tried a different video card with the cpu in with no luck, and my cpu from my other computer will not fit the broken one. So, it might be the cpu is bad i guess, but i wish i had a way to check first. Thanks for the help.
