This sounds really good, i my self have installed liquid cooling into my desk top at home, this circulates cool water around the cpu, gpu and hard drives, its a really great system keeping my system very stable 🙂
i would like to know how to be part of the law suit. i have this pc and ive had to take it back to best buy on multiple occasons. good thing i got extended warenty. ive added a front 80 mm case fan and my graphics card still runs at 160 degrees f the temp burnt out multiple hard drivs in the hot swap bays. and if you pull a hard drive out of hot swap bay after shut down pc it will burn your hand. they only put a 80 mm exaust fan in the back of the case and a fan on the cpu and little one on video card. i bout the pc because quad core with 8 gig of ram. been alot of head ache. got over a year ago still have recite
I too bought this piece of SHIT computer in 2009 and been having problems with the system overheating and shutting off. I would like to know how to become a part of this law suite. Gateway Support sucks and they don’t seem to give a damn they are stealing peoples money!!

I have the same desktop and have been having this same problem.
Yep…Got this back in 09 and have wondered about this issue. So far I’ve installed a front and rear fan, cleaned up the fans, got a new pci express graphics card, and recently after getting the graphics card was enthusiastic about never having to deal with the mumbo jumbo again. Well here I am not playing League of Legends on the lowest setting (not that advanced) and still getting random shutdowns. I was gonna flash the bios to their new one but that I beleive requires a bootable usb which can only be made by having a copy of windows vista to create one (correct me if I’m wrong). Windows Vista is preinstalled on this computer so I can’t do that either. If you need my support on the law suit then reply to this with a contact and I’d love to support the cause.

help please
I have this computer and have been fighting with it since the day I bought it. I called gateway and all they would do for me is take my creditcard number, charge $150.00 and give me 90 mins of tech support. What is that gonna do for me? I’ve installed 2 fans and even gone a step further and rethermaled the heatsinks. And to my surprise on the cpu heatsink there was NO thermal compound!!! But even after that I still have overheats. What do I do now?
GOT THIS SYSTEM IN 2009, IT SAT IN MY OFFICE UNUSED MOST OF THE TIME, BECAUSE IT WOULD JUST TURN ITSELF OFF AFTER 30 MIN WORKING. HOW DO I GET ON THIS LAW SUIT?
i have a LX-6810 going through this issue
have returned to gateway for repairs but issue persists
have a house fan blowing into case for fix
how do i join this lawsuit?

I am experiencing all the same problems with my Gateway LX 6810. Purchased it about a year and a half back. Paid in excess of the purchase for repairs and loss of data. how can I jion the suit as well.
My Gateway LX68010 started having overheating issues that resulted in chronic shutdowns, the thermal paste on the cpu was very thin and dried. Deja Vu from Xbox 360…… I’m soo tired of this companies beeing so darn greedy.
I bought this computer back in 2009 and soon after I read an article about the overheating and shutdown problems. I thought I was a lucky one because most people said the problems started after they had it 3 to 4 months and I already had it for 31/2 months. A few days later it shut down on me. I had to take the side panel off just to get any work done and then that wasn’t working. Called Gateway to get some relief, but as you all know, I rather go to the dentist and get all my teeth pulled than dealing with those a**holes. I finally purchased 3 fans, a hard drive cooler, and a controller which I mounted in one of the hot swap bays. Also downloaded a program called EFmer to gauge the tempereature of each core and the GPU. I also read where the computer freezes at times due to something having to do with the motherboard. After I installed all fans and made sure it was cool, I still have these random freezes which have on occasion screwed up some software programs that I run. In fact 1 month ago I had to repurchase a program that was running when it froze and when I rebooted, it took out a key component in the program so it would not run. I also have to sort out my router occasionally because when it freezes you have to reboot, and that’s like cutting power off and it makes the address in the router settings jump. I am so thoroughly pissed off at Gateway. In fact in the next week, I’ll be purchasing another computer, (not a Gateway), to replace this one with something I can depend on that won’t screw up my programs.
Has anyone hear anything in regards to the lawsuit?
drag the gateway 2185 monitor in with this. What a lemon it was.
I have a Gateway LX6810 desktop with the over heating issue. I bought it for my wife and it lasted just past the store’s warranty. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with this computer. I have read a lot of the complaints and must confess I am very upset and disappointed that a company like gateway can get away with (in my opinion) stealing money from people. I do not think that a companies like Gateway should be allowed to be in business. I will never buy a Gateway computer again!!!
I have this computer as well. It’s been sitting for almost a year unused because of the problems. Just found out today about the Class Action suit, when researching parts needed to get it running properly… Not sure if it is too late to join the Class Action or not, though.
As you may know, Acer owns and makes gateway computers.
my Acer computer just went back to Fryes’ store today because of trouble with overheating.
by entering through del & return pressed together, you get a screen of your computer’s data.
mine indicated it was 159 degrees F thus explaining the hot left side of the case and its crashing.
i took it back to Fryes’ store.
i’m just waiting to hear the song and dance thhat’s forthcoming probably without a concrete repair.
perhaps the class=actionlawsuit should include acer products as well since they probably used the same parts in both brands.
Good luck to us all and damn the computer companies and big-business in general.
I have had to replace my hard drive on several occasions and have had my computer freeze, lock-up and crash due to an overheating problem. I have taken it back to Best Buy on some of these occasions and was not helped in any way. They told me at one point that the store would be closing and I had to leave my machine. I drive 45 miles each way to get the repairs done and they were not done so I had to return. I told them I waould not leave this time till it was fixed or replaced with a new machine as it was only 60 days old. They finally pulled a new hard drive off the shelf and that worked temporarily. Pleas contact me as to how to join this class action suit.
I have one of these, same problem. I have to put cooling gel on the CPU every three months. Pile of junk.
