Re: Gateway 610XL

From the first post, it seems those 610XL systems run AGP video cards. Therefore they require a power supply capable of 18A output on the +12V rail to run properly. The blinking LCD issue could be a result of the graphics card not receiving enough power and not outputting video properly. The 185W Delta PSU is definitely not enough for any system made in the last 5 years. You should be looking at the very least at a 300W unit capable of the AGP power requirement.

P.S. Gateway was acquired eMachines in 2004, and was itself eaten up by Acer late last year.
