If it's showing on the external monitor as well you likely have a faulty video card. When you are on your desktop....right click on the desktop and select Properties....Settings....Advanced.....Troubleshoot... move the Hardware...

The part that is circled in the above pictures isn't the SATA connector. It's hard to see from the pictures exactly what your problem is. There is only one standard sata connector regardless of device size.

I'm on my second Sager and both have been very reliable so I can't comment on technical support. I recommend using a Vendor that offers their own technical support to purchase the Sager. Just like any other manufacturer, I've heard...

The USB adapter would run on it's own driver and would be unrelated to the ATi card so don't worry about that. In effect the ATi card only needs to run two external monitors. How do you plan on connecting them? edit: I see you only...

I agree. You won't notice the difference from such a minor speed increase. It's likely that more than 99.9% of your computing won't even push the 1.8GHz CPU to it's limits. The only time you would notice it is when crunching large...

I'm not too familiar with that model but it may be worth just checking the thermal paste on the CPU and replacing it to be sure. If you've done that and are convinced the temperature sensor is bad you may be able to turn off the...

Agreed, the Gateway is a very good value. You can buy a faster machine but you will spend a lot more money and the Gateway is no slouch.
