I have the same problem. I have a EMachine W3052. My problem is that it
will
not boot on it's own sometimes it will but only after I turn the pc on
and
off over and over. It has the EMachines Logo and sits there. I press f10
and if I'm lucky it goes to boot options. please help. I have
unpluged
it. I have moved the pc, ( maybe the chi was the problem) it is
getting
old oh the pc is nearly 3 1/2 yrs old. but my son put a Radion gamer
card
, wireles key and mouse and fast download. please help.

Next time please make a new post with all pertinent details instead of
shoving your question into someone else's old, closed thread. You do not
have "the same problem" as the OP at all.

Your symptoms point to a failing power supply. eMachines are notorious for
having bad power supplies and what's worse, when their power supplies go
they often take the hard drive and motherboard with them. Back up your
data
NOW and replace your power supply ASAP.

Either that, or, flaky motherboard onboard cmos, Bios can't make claim to
data that isn't stored properly. That is, its trying to process gibberish
and storing gibberish.

April 16th, 2009 Day 1 post Tea Party.
This day in history occurred:
Nancy Pelosi response was undignified per her allegation that such are
funded by right wing money big money and attended exclusively by right wing
extremists.
White House staff indicated that officially not recognizing the nation-wide
gatherings in any fashion.
Some news reporters were found attempting to goad responses from attendees
at the gatherings with response not filling their (some news reporters) TV
political needs. Too bad for them.
Woebama in Mexico. 2nd amendment rights being pinged again. Ignoring
locking down the U.S/Mexico border again.
We the people...
No political party or otherwise in that.
Locked signature to prevent subsequent historical revisionism.
