The monitor isn't working on t5048 all I get is the monitor is working

DID YOU TRY A DIFFERENT MONITOR TO SEE IF THATS IT OR IT THE COMPUTER. SETTING COUSE THAT PROBLEM TO. THIS MAY HELP.

So either the computer isn't generating a video signal, the cable isn't carrying the signal to the monitor, or else the monitor isn't capable of receiving a video signal.To test this, first try a video cable that you know is good, in case your cable is bad, If it works with the other cable, the problem was your original video cable. If it still doesn't work, put your original cable back, and hook another computer up to the monitor. If the monitor makes the same message, the problem is with the monitor. If the other computer works when connected to this monitor, your problem was that the original computer isn't booting (which could be due to several reasons I will list below), or the video adapter is broken.Possible reasons for the computer not booting: bad power supply, bad power button, bad hard drive, bad memory, bad motherboard component. If you determine that it isn't booting, unplug everything except the keyboard mouse monitor and power cord, to see if that makes a difference. If it boots after that, something you unplugged was causing the problem, plug them each back in one by one, rebooting in between, and when it stops booting properly, the last thing you plugged in is causing the problem.

There are two variants of the T5048 One uses DDR PC3200 ram the other uses DDR2 PC5300
Should be able to look at the old ram and it should say on it what it is. If it doesn't, take out the new, put in the old ram and go here http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx Run the "Scan My Computer"
Some computers will have a setting in BIOS to disable on board video although eMachine are very low end and probably don't offer that. Shouldn't need to just install your video card and plug your monitor into it. It should work just fine without disabling on board.

Comment if you need more help

Your eMachines T5048 PC Desktop uses RAM of specification DDR400 which is also called PC3200. DDR Stands for Double Data Rate.
Your computer is expandable to a maximum of 2GB

Take care!

For that open cpu cabinet
Reattach the RAM memory.
Open processor fan and processor reattach both.
Make sure motherboard circuit could not ground with cabinet.
Pull cmos cell from motherboard for 10 minutes .
Remove pci cards from motherboard if any.
Reattach VGA card if installed.
Then check.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.

Its a problem with the motherboard. and check the SMPS also.

As far as i know the only way is to run the restore disk from emachine that is for your model computer. (it usually wipes the computers hard disk in the process.)

the link below will take you to their support site for drivers.

on that site look for eMachines Recovery Media Purchase Program and you can see about ordering the recovery disk that you need.

Here's a link to the Emachine support page for your model. Scroll down to audio section and you should be able to download your sound drivers. If the sound still doesn't work after doing this download the chipset drivers and then try downloading the audio drivers again. Sometimes you need the chipset drivers first before the audio drivers will work. http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Desktops&subcat=T%20Series&model=T5048

hold alt+ctrl then click the up arrow while holding alt+ ctrl

download audio driver here.
