Try to turn on one of my emachines and all it does is beep every 5 seconds

Hi, you are having a problem with your add on cards, try to pull out everything that you have add on to you PC, then try to put 1 by 1 and try to turn on. If it beep once its OK, but if it's continue then the add on cards are the defective.

5 Short BeepsYour motherboard is complaining. Try reseating the memory and rebooting. If that doesn't help, you should consider another motherboard. You could probably get away with just replacing the CPU, but that's not too cost-effective. Its just time to upgrade!

Hi
Check the RAM's.Probably remove them,wipe dust off their slots and then re-insert them.
Make sure they are firmly seated.
Check the Hard drive power and make sure its well connected.

Hi oleresi

If there is a continues beep sound then the RAM is corrupted or gone, you need to replace a new RAM


Thank you

Sounds like the motherboard. Do you get any Beep codes?

Hello,

A beep sound can be due to memory problem.

First use the following steps:

1 Turn off the system and disconnect power cables
2 Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds
3 Reconnect power cables and try to turn it on.

If you still get a continuous beep sound, the next step will be to re-seat memory modules (after turning off the system).

make sure it is not getting really hot, also try cleaning all again and start putting them together step by step. make sure the dust didn't got in another part like RAM memories slots, and if you have a big problem with the processor the PC wouldn't even start, wont even turn on.

Reboot with "F8" held down.
you are only booting to bios and minimum disk software. This may give you an indication of your monitor or video driver status.

If you can borrow another monitor from someone, that would confirm your monitors status....

Hi shyguy,

Before I address your issue, I figured you ought to know:

Buying an emachine is one of the worst moves a consumer can make. Why? because despite the fact that they are cheap, they frequently have problems, which can take money out of your pocket. Not only that, but they can be a pain in the *** in general. The old saying "You get what you pay for" should certainly be followed to some degree when purchasing a computer.

Now that I got that out of the way, on to your problem. I have a feeling that your motherboard might be shot. Before I have you think that, I want you to see if you can open it up and check to make sure your RAM is seated in the slot properly. If that doesn't work, then I think your motherboard is most likely gone.

If you need any more assistance, I'd be glad to try and lend a hand. You can e-mail me at [email protected]

Good Luck.

that points to memory problem. Try removing memory sticks and reseating them back. sometimes they lose a acontact and this helps
