I have a 5 year old Emachines computer, a few weeks ago I bumped my foot on the desk that was holding the computer and the screen turned off and the tower started beeping. It was long continuous beeps. I need help with identifying my Emachines model and all that stuff, and if possible, how to fix this issue. The computer won't boot and it continuously beeps the same beep over and over. Please help!

    Look on the back next to the Windows product key, (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX), or up on the side of the computer tower, for the model number. I would say your kick knocked the Ram Memory loose. FOLLOW Anti-Static Precautions, remove, and reinstall the Ram Memory. (You won't be able to see if the Ram Memory is loose just by eye. To be assured the Ram Memory needs to be removed, and reinstalled) I will also guide you in cleaning the gold plated contact pins, on the Ram Memory module/s. ('Stick') Post back in a Comment. (Model Number basic examples for eMachines, T1090, T2895, W2260, W3644, EL1300G, etc)

Sounds like you knocked one of the cables loose. Did you check all connections at the tower, keyboard, mouse and monitor?

Usually when you hear long beeps coming from your computer it telling you that there is hardware loose . You may have knocked something loose. Check cd roms , ports and cards , memory to make sure they are fitted in correctly . good luck

SOURCE: computer tower started beeping

If you added more memory this may make your tower beep.
If so I WOULD REMOVE THE ADDED MEMORY AND THEN RESTART

SOURCE: tower shuts off after it beeps on start up

There is no way it's the video card because if it was, your bios wouldn't be showing up.

Try resetting your SEMOS by doing this, it'll put your bios at stock settings. To do this, unplug your computer then take out the battery on your motherboard for 10 mins, plug your computer back in. With computer on, re-insert battery.

You should also try removing any USB devices that may be causing your computer to re-boot.

What can I do about swaying for my SUV. When I travel 80 miles a day to college it sways after hitting bumps. How can I fix this?

Any control arm bushings and bushings at any suspension component can add to this problem. Get it on a lift and check the bushings for rotting and tears, even missing with enough age and mileage.

If it's a desktop it may not have a wireless card installed on it. I would recommend going to the eMachines website and look up the model of your desktop to see the information on what was included in it. You may need to purchase a USB WiFi adapter to add wireless to the computer.

Big black box on screen

It has something to do with the closed captioning. He must have hit the closed caption button on your remote. You need to either turn the closed caption off or make another selection under closed captioning like cc1 cc2. Just keep making selections until the box goes away.

Sound, but no picture. Standby light blinking 5 times

A few weeks ago my set started flashing to a black screen. Now a couple of weeks later, i have no picture, but the set turns on and i have sound. The standby light is flashing. I purchased the set in 2000 so it is seven years old. This is the first problem. Could it be all three of the bulbs? Could it be all three of the bulbs? no as you say that sound is ok that means your power supply &high voltage section is ok. please check chroma ic luminance section or system control section stand by ckt ihanks

Bluish screen

Before spending money on a new video card you might not need. Check all your connections. I have a monitor built into a Radio station announcer's desk and it goes blue at switch on. All I did was reposition the input cable and problem solved. It was caused by a fractured wire or two in the output cable and moving it made them make contact again. It's worked for 4 years now, if it really dies then I'll have to pull it out and replace the whole cable. Check that all your inputs and outputs are firmly plugged in and any securing screws are finger tight. But remember the old tech's saying "If it's gonna go wrong it'll usually be in the first few weeks" BMW
