Hi Welcome to FixYa!
You could follow the steps on the manual for your E-Machine for you to be able to restore your computer back to defaults. But just to remind you, it will delete everything on the computer and restore it back to factory defaults.
The manual can be found on this link:

refer to page 63 for the instructions on the recovery process.
Hope this could help you a lot!
No power, no lights on laptop
I think you should check the real power supply ... 120 V in and what comes out ... volts (ac - dc) and amps or what fraction of an amp.
Please compare the old with the new power supply. The new power supply should be the same volts - same kind (AC or DC) and at least the same amp rating. You can use higher amp rating but not lower - lower will burn up - literally)
Volt meter ... always set it above the suspected voltage. Batteries are always DC. Houses, buildings, etc always AC. Power supplies - could be mixed - ac in and dc out.
So if you were measuring in your home, you set the meter to 130 or higher on the AC scale. If you were doing your auto, 24 volts DC (or so).
House current, probe color doesnt make any difference. Should read about 120 Volts between the narrower (or right side/ground down orientation) or the two slots and the wider of the two shots (wide should be the neutral side - ground on the bottom). You can prove the hot side by measuring to the ground. White wire to ground = no reading. Black wire to ground = 120 volts. (The black and white are INSIDE the electric outlet. You can use either probe to do the measurement.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more question, please let me know.

This happens every time you try to read a cd? movie? music? game?
I have a desktop computer that does the same thing, appears to be a hardware issue, I haven't been able to find a solution to the issue and it sometimes restarts when theres a type of a disc in the drive.
this is a laptop? Let me know what kind of discs you have problems with.
Emachines m5309 turns on, but will just keep trying to restart over and over
I had the same problem. The processor is overheating during start up. At first, it would quit while I was watching a DVD, but it got worse until it wouldn't even boot. I thought it was software but I stuck in a fresh hard disk and tried to install the recovery CD's, but it would do the same thing. I disassembled the laptop, blew out the cooling fins, and applied new heat-sink grease to the processor. That got it to boot on the old HDD, but while I was transferring files it would do the same thing. I finally removed the bottom cover and set it upright in the deep freezer. It worked long enough that I could recover my files. I ended up replacing the processor and RAM, used the recovery CD, and installed the XP-SP3 package. I kind-of eased into using it and it worked great until I tried to install HP printer software. After I did, I noticed a system slow-down and that the cooling fan would kick on more often at idle. I uninstalled the printer and now it works fine for surfing, photos, etc. I just print through a networked printer and don't install anything I don't need.
I have an eView 17f3 computer monitor that was
well that is 17,000 volts there 17kv and can be lethal .
CRT is cathode ray tube and 2nd anode is 17kv, 1kv per inch screen.. we use a chicken stick to discharge that.
one guy gut hit here and flew across the room ,hit head and next up paramedics deep.. not fun to see that. ive taking 600v but never again.
vaccum seal, why do that.???
send it to the , toxic lead recycle center, let them do the danger work
when I was only 16yo I worked in TV shop and I had do that "nnipp" that in the bud on all CRT sent off to refurb. (or toxic trash) (we sold them all here, you name it)
we had to remove the socket there find he glass bud there dead center and full PPE, and snap it with wire cutters and it sucks in air fast. later in military too on old radar scopes, i worked .
the vacuum inside is pure and prefect, zero gasses.
implosion hazard exists. a glass flies in the bounces out and hits you and then next up blind i one eye. leave CRT alone to the trained.
Hi i have emachine 8230 tower
firstly lets think why a Working pc would no longer BOOT. The boot process then. a pc starts the bios which POST's. this results in ONE BEEP which might be followed by messages(if you get several beeps then they are like morse code long/short and count out an error code). when you get your ONE BEEP the pc is working. when it then HANGS(appears to do nothing) its usually because of either a) the cd drive is duff so disconnect its cables. b) the hard drive is duff so disconnect its cables c) the hard drive hasnt quite died yet but has some very slow sectors and is making the Clackety Clack of the heads recalibrating every few seconds. d) there could be a a gpu card bios glitch and your pc is running but you just have a blank screen. some hints then 1) never start removing parts as that corrupts the CMOS(the battery backed up configuration for your BIOS) so you may need to clear your cmos. 2) never play with the idea of changing ram sticks as people usually end up putting them in any old slot(which may result in a non working pc). make sure a PAIR is fitted in slots 0/2 and a separate matching pair in 1/3 slots not in slots 0/1 which is two half pairs. Other factors. 1) a short circuit. your PSU has built in protection, if the psu fan(inside case of the psu) turns and kicks back and immediately stops you have a short circuit and its cuts the power to avoid a fire/meltdown, which could be caused by high wattage gpu(>60 watts) without its extra power cables fitted or wrongly connected front usb cables or removing a mainboard and fitting it into a new box where the board has its support posts NOT lined up with the holes fro the screws so the post is touching underside of the board circuits. hope some of that helps.
Emachines 3240 - cannot recover
Download a Linux distro to a flash drive or DVD and see how well it runs off that. There's HDD utilities like SuperGrubDisk that can diagnose things.
