Thank you all for your advices. I tried pretty much all that I could but
was
unsuccessful.

Just one last general question: is it generally acknowledged that
emachines
and similar low-priced brands have inferior quality and reliability than
the
brand-names? I'm trying to decide whether my next computer will be another
try at bargain or should I just fork over and pay for big name?

Your best bet is to go to a local mom and pop shop, tell them how you use
your computer and have them build you one. Brand names are no bargain in the
long run or even in the short run if you have problems. We can't help you if
you're going to hqave to be deqaling with restore disks, etc. If you have a
problem with a plain old computer you can get help here or elsewhere pretty
fast.

Brand names usually aren't upgradable so you have to buy a new machine all
over again. With the regular computer you can upgrade parts as you have the
money and not have to shell out a heap all at once. There's no advantage to
buying a brand name.











Thanks again.

I have an emachines T2596 that was working great for just over two years
since bought. Last night it just suddenly died. The computer shut itself
off
without any warning whatsoever. I tried to turn it back on without
success. I
unplug the power cord and waited 10 minutes. I then turned it on again
and
everything worked fine for another 30 minutes. Then again suddenly it
shut
itself off.

That was the last time I was able to turn my computer on again. My first
instinct was to replace the power supply so I rushed down to the store
first
thing in the morning and bought a new power supply of medium quality and
rated 100 watts more than the one I had in my computer.

Alas even with the new power supply the computer refused to turn on.
There
was nothing. No sound, no light, no reaction whatsoever when I push the
on
button.

Is there anything else I can try before replacing the whole motherboard
or
having to buy a new computer? Thanks in advance.
