Vista 64 bit recovery disc on a wiped hard drive.

I'm working on a Gateway LX 6810-01 and he completley reformatted his hard drive. He ordered some factory discs to restore to factory settings but when it loads it up it just hangs.

I made a vista 64 recovery disc and it loads up.. When it does it asks for the Dvd/cd Rom driver.

The device is a HL - DT - ST DVDRAM GH15F SCSI Cdrom Device

It lets me serach for it and flash drive is an option and I have one handy, however I can't just find the driver I need and put it on this flash drive for the computer I'm working on.

What can I do to get this going?

Actually I got it. It was actually asking for a sata raid controller.. Hell I don't know.

I found it on the Mobo's chipset drivers that I had to put into a flash drive.

But I have a new issue now. Nothing has changed with that cpu's hardware.. I got all the drivers and everything from gateway for that model and I dowloaded a program called speedfan to moniter temperatures.

For some reason my temperatures keep going way above normal even ideling.. The GPU runs at 68c degrees and the 4 cores run at 60c then once it gets around there it just shuts off..

I checked the gpu fan and all of the other fans and they are running. What should I do now?

Right now I have a house fan running on it while it's open while keeping a game up to see how lon it will run before it shuts off.

The whole computer. It depends on what gets hot first.. if it's the cores.. it shuts the cpu down.. if it's the GPU it just freezes.

are all the fans and heatsinks clean and dust free? my first thought would be the power supply is spiking or got a power spike and hurt something in it or the MOBO is going bad

Yeah it's all clean.

I have some voltage readings here. I don't know if they will help. Thats a little out of my knowledge when it comes to this.

voltage is a bit out of my area also

BRINK maybe you could lend your helping ways on this!

I picked up this system last week. I was appalled at the lack of cooling. I headed out to CompUSA and grabbed 2 case fans, 1 HDD cooler, 1 GPU cooler, and one generic fan to circulate. After doing all this, my temperatures are fine. So, my point to this post...get some fans. All the fans I got connected with the regular power supply cables. I just kept adding em on. If you have this system, either return it, or install at last 3 fans. The hottest temp is the GPU, and that's about 56deg Celcius.

Could you post a pic of your system with all these fans and stuff? Or provide more information that could help us in getting proper fans and air flow?

I will see if I can get some pics up. But for a bit of info, I stuck with fans that have a standard power cable. Then just chain them all up. I wanted to see if i could find the actual fan connectors on the mobo, but had a few drinks and didnt feel like trying to find it (dont much light in the room). What I did was this:

1. 1st case fan. I mounted this on the back of the case. There is already an indentation for the fan. I slapped on there. Positioned so that it takes the air from inside the case, and pushes it out. AeroCool SilverLightning120mm Aerocool 120mm Fan

2. 2nd case fan. This I mounted to the grating on the removable panel on the case. Its not really mean to do this, I guess, but it fit and the blue light of the fan compliments the blue on the media controller. AeroCool SilverLightning120mm Aerocool 120mm Fan

3. HDD fan. I pulled the HDD out, and screwed the HDD cooler on. It was a tight fit getting it back into the chassis, but with a bit of work, it slides back in. This also set to pull air from in the case and push it out. Masscool by Fanner Tech 4B02S4 Speeze HD Cooler

4. GPU cooler. Its not a true GPU cooler (as they connect to the video card), this is just a dual fan exhaust card that sits right below the nividia card. Vantec Thermal Technologies SP-FC70-BL Vantec PCI Fan

5. Then an exhaust fan below the GPU cooler to yet take more hot air from the PC and push it out. Masscool by Fanner Tech 4F01B4 Expansion Slot Rear Exhaust Cooling Fan

After its all said and done, here are my temps (all in celcius):

GPU: 53C
temp1: 44C
temp2: 38C
temp3: 30C
core0: 48C
core1: 43C
core2: 45C
core3: 43C

Hope that helps
