I *had* a 900 Select that did the same exact thing. After I formatted and reinstalled the OS it still locked up, couldn't even ctl-alt-del, had to power off. This occurred when I put in audio CDs just as Media Player 7 started, it also happened with Encarta and other CDs. To make a long story short, I took a $100 beating and sent the whole system back before my 30 days was up. I don't have the time or patience to trouble shoot a PC with problems that occur right out of the box. I'll buy another Gateway system after MS releases the first service pack and when the systems with the new AMD AthlonT processor, AMD chipset, and new DDR SDRAM memory become available. Those Micron towers look mighty good, it's too bad you can't get one without having to wait 2 or more months.
