D_Joey Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I have a gateway computer with XP. When I turn on the computer, everything loads up the way it should except for the following: the icons and the lower bar blinks off the screen every 10 seconds or so. This process repeats until all the icons disappear completely and I am left with a blank blue screen. The only thing that I did was downloaded and opened the Torrent program and Limewire. I immediately deleted limewire from my computer but the problem still exist. I can open an application using windows task manager, which is how I'm able to log on to this site. It is still under extended warranty through Best Buy but if it is a software issue, of course it is not covered and they reffered me to gateway. The computer is over 2 years old so Gateway says it is out of warranty. Can you help? Thanks.
