    Hi

    The CPU on the Gateway ML3108b is a Sempron 3400+. I tried to upgrad it during the weekend and this is the result:
    1- With the AMD Turion MK36 the laptop turn ON, the fa spins but the screen stays OFF.
    2- With the AMD Turion X2 TL50 the laptop turns ON, I can access the bios but can't boot into windows. Instead I get this message:
    "FATAL ERROR !!! Please change CPU!!!"

    I can't fine a bios update...
    Please help
