Have this model and am well into the suggested heat sink thing, but my M.board is different?see attached! I also see no broken post!

My problem is that when i try to load a op. system the machine shuts down?

Have partitioned and formatted and clean the HD on another comp. and works fine!

Any suggestions would be appreciated



Cheers

hey i followed the repair steps you created and when i was done my power
light stays on when i plug in a source of power to it on my gateway 600ygr. can u help me?

Thanks for all the tips for GW600 cooling issues. I had 2 out of 4 loose posts. Before I dove into the "screw" fix (very helpful, THANKS KAID!), I superglued around the bottom of the loose posts (from the upright keyboard position vs. from the bottom of the motherboard). I turned it on for the heat to cure the superglue, and it's been in continuous operation for over 24 hours (previously froze after only 10 minutes), and it took all of 5 minutes to do. I have no idea how permanent this may be, and if it does it again, I'll just put in screws... but not before trying super glue again!
