You can get that exact unit on eBay (pulls, but they're tested) for around $25-$30. There are newer-style units that should work, they're available in the same price range and higher. The "P8" didn't tell me much; that designation is used by Astec for 3-,4-, and 6-pin connectors, used for sound cards, video and other stuff. With only two wires, I'd suspect that was used for the power-down to the PSU--not sure, though. Hoping the experts will jump in here...

Please post back with the Gateway model number, thanks.

Here's the model : REMAN STANDARD IT DESKTOP CONF That's from Gateways site, when I plug in the serial number.

Ok, I just checked the voltage on my power supply (molexes) They read just overf 5vdc, and just over 13vdc. I checked the main cable to the motherboard, and it read just over 12vdc, and just over 5vdc. Does this eliminate the power supply? How would I go about checking to see if the motherboard is bad?

Thanks for the help and info so far.
