Gateway EC14 Cpu
The CPU is the main component that processes data that the software uses. The speed of your desktop depends a lot on the speed and model of CPU within your system. In order to replace the old processor with a new CPU in your Gateway EC14, do some research as to how to do it properly so as to not damage the new CPU. Replacing a CPU can be tricky for anyone to do themselves, as there are a lot of things that could go wrong. You should make sure you are replacing the component that is giving you trouble, as processors rarely go bad.
Signals to watch for in a failing primary CPU
- The Gateway desktop consistently shows errors
- The system is unable to boot up when you push the power button
- Your desktop processor fails a simple stress test
