Welcome to D-A-L.

That machine came with Vista. (Gateway Support - Specifications)

This is the XP forum. Have you "reloaded" Windows XP as opposed to Vista? Different drivers/software apply to different OS's.

Does the RCA adapter (inport hotwire) got it's own power adapter that need to connect to the wall main power first before connecting to the computer?
Seems to me, the RCA adapter has shorted something on your desktop computer.
Maybe we can try the following simple step to clear the CMOs and see if we can get your computer boot up again:

unplug the power cord to the computer, pressing down the power button over 20 seconds do not let go.
This can discharge and reset the computer.

hope this helps!
