Yeah I wanna get Win7 RC back on this Gateway asap, since it ran so good we use it in the office with Quickbooks with only 528mb ram! However I am also mindful that Gateway has a long issue (up to the T5000's) of underpowered PSU, so does anyone think that it could be a power issue on this, and is there a way to troubleshoot that? I still think that having it shut down straightaway using the power button while in boot mode eliminates it being hardware, since the issue seems to be something in the signal sent to shutdown Windows which instead restarts it.
