    Here's one for you techs my Gateway MX6421 upon atempting to boot will boot thru the Windows startup screen to the deskop and in the final stages of the desktop startup omit a loud pop and flash a blue screen of death for a nano second and then start to reboot again. This might go on for 1 iteration or continue to multiple boot until finally completing a sucsessful boot. About 2 weeks ago it would not post or display video at all. Ran it back to Best Buy and gave it to the Geeks, they sent it back to Gateway and Gateway replaced the memory. It will run out of warranty in Jan. and I want to sell it but not in it's current state? Any ideas?
