Should re-read the thread next time :p

Well then guess you'll have to try the fans I'll be sending you.
 
My motherboard does not have a BIOS to update it with. It's one of those crappy computers I got from Best Buy with terrible(no) support.

@Kenshai - Yes I will!
 
ALL BIOS' should be able to be updated...
 
I've tried. There's no support whatsoever.
 
Hmmm so your right, it's like ASUS have no knowledge of this board :confused:

Maybe you should Email HP and/or ASUS to see what they say about this.
 
You know what the funny thing is? It's not HP.
 
Sorry my mistake, i thought i seen you mention HP somewhere, but in that case just Email Gateway if your pretty sure it's a Gateway system, or whatever.

No, I didn't mean that. I Googled it myself and got a lot of HP models. Maybe it was swapped out when I took it for repair a year back. I would've fixed it myself but I didn't know anything about comps back then.
 
do you get a BIOS boot screen? as in third party, Emachines, or Gateway or HP etc for example?
 
if you can find the company that makes the motherboard you can usualy get a bios from the retail board and flash it to your gateway system.

open your computer and look at the motherboard it should say asus/foxconn/ecs with a model number next to it.

ASUS have no data on his board what so ever!!! :twitch:
 
they will claim they dont know but just look for a motherboard with the same specs and then find pics of it and see if it looks the same

Hmmm that could be very risky don't ya think.
 
without a doubt but there are few other options .
 
what chipset does it have? does it have any raid controllers? who makes the onboard network adapter?
 
GeForce 6150 LE chipset
10/100 Marvell 88EC031

Not sure about RAID.

Geo if you're looking to help lets do this through PM and post here if we find a solution.
 
... Doesn't a friend or family member have a rig what you can test the fan on?
