Computers generally don't "restore" by themselves. Are you talking about "restore" or "recovery"? "Recovery" takes a key press during startup. Maybe you accidentally pressed a function key during startup? "Restore" takes several keystrokes and must be accessed thru the "Help & Support" menu. Unlikely you did that by accident.

EMachine recovery disk won't work invalid serial keeps restarting

Restart your computer and as its starting hold F8. This will take you into system restore. Choose Factory Default Restore. This will take your computer back to its original state when it was purchased. You will lose all files that were previously in the unit.

XPS 1530 won't start up property

Hi there.
While you are in safe mode perform a system restore and take the computer back at least 2 - 7 days before the problems started.
Don't worry about loosing any data as system restore does not delete files.
Please post back if you need anymore help.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

My computer stops working whenever I connect anything to the usb.

try to use the system restore feature,click on start, accessories, system tools, then click on system restore. try to restore back to a date before the "breaker" incident. if this does not work I would back up all my files to an external hard drive/dvd's then I would re-install my operating system (XP or Vista or whatever you have) if that doesn't work you may have a short in one of your computer components inside the machine itself, (that may need to be replaced)
