On my Gateway computer the HD cable plugin on the motherboard has become dead. Tried several diff. hard drives and several diff. cables with no result. Also checked BIOS for error but no probs. No other problems at all. What else might be the problem. ?

the IDE1 interface has died. Depending on how many drives/Cd's you have connected you could swap them over to IDE2. You will be limited to a Hard Drive and CD or two Hard Drives. Normally time to update when MOBO problems like this start to happen. It is only a matter of time before something else goes.
