Take out your ram sticks. Put them back in. Restart.

Could be a RAM error. try cleaning the contacts of the memory module before re-inseirting it, or you can try and swap with another if its available

Unless you have the actual CD and license that came with the computer (restore or program), you will not be able to retrieve the software. The software that was on your last pc was an OEM of Microsoft's Virtual Earth and based on the EULA (end user license agreement), it cannot be transfered to another computer.

You will need to buy another license.

if you have the disc that come with your computer get the drivers from there.

Guessing, but it sounds like your hard drive has been damaged. You may need a new drive, or at least repairs. If you have a "rescue disk", give that a try.

Here's a video on how I fixed my emachines boot problem. Almost anything can get in the way of your computer booting. Software, hard drive, RAM, motherboard, processor, etc. Below the video, I attached a link to a tip I made about computer crashes. Computer Crashes and Electrolytic Capacitors

Please specify how exactly you're trying to make them work, what machine you're trying to make them work with, and what kind of connection your speakers are using. General info: Speakers usually get connected via 3,5 mm plug into the green round socket in the back or front of your computer. In Windows, if your speakers are properly connected and set up, right click on the sound pictogram in your taskbar and choose "Playback devices". Set your speakers to be the default playback device by left-clicking on the preferred device of your choise and clicking the button "Set default" below.

In general, you have to order recovery disks from the manufacturer of the machine. In your case eMachines Store eRecovery is where you can order it, or you can initiate a discussion with tech support. Also, many machines give you the option to burn your own recovery media when you first set it up. Most people skip this step. You should do this before you have problems. Search your machine for the word Recovery and see if you have an installer routine there. Here are instructions to create a recovery disk on a USB stick Create USB recovery drive Windows Help

Check your monitor cable connections. If not solved, try a different monitor.

Flashing the bios is a last-ditch move. What happened before that? Did it work before you flashed it? If the unit is interrupted during clash, or if it is the wrong bios, your goose could be cooked. Read this: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/flashed-wrong-bios.180492/ There may be something you can use, especially if you have a floppy drive (a real one, not a usb-one). You maybe can use flash drive in the usb port, but that's a long shot. Good luck with that. I'd be looking at a new motherboard. They can be had pretty cheaply.

I understand that you want to reinstall the Operating System on the computer. Select models have the ability to have the operating system reinstalled from a hidden drive built into the computer. To start the system recovery:

1. Restart the computer
2. When the eMachines logo appears on the screen, press the Alt and F10 keys repeatedly.
3. When prompted with a boot screen, hit the Enter key.
4. After the system recovery program has loaded, follow the prompts to reinstall the operating system.

If the ability to reinstall from the previous method is not available or fails during the recovery, recovery of the operating system will need to be from Recovery Media.

1. Insert the disk labeled System CD into the computer's disk drive and restart the computer.
2. When the eMachines logo appears on the screen, press the F12 key repeatedly.
3. Select either CDROM or DVD as the boot device, this may vary depending on the system.
4. When prompted for the Recovery CD, remove the System CD and insert the Recovery CD.
Note: If there are multiple Recovery CDs, please insert the first Recovery CD.
5. After the system recovery program has loaded follow the prompts to reinstall the operating system.

Refer the URL for more information and for the link to order the Recovery media if required.

Computer does not boot up The problem maybe the RAM, it is faulty or just needs reseating to make proper electrical contact. Reseat the RAM and then boot up your laptop. If it still does not boot up then remove the RAM module/s and take them to your friendly computer repair shop and get them to test the RAM for you.

Test all power and data leads that attach to your hard drive IDE,SATA the leads from your MOTHERBOARD TO YOUR HARD DRIVE make sure they have secure dust free connections and are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty motherboard and a hard drive any leads between them will fail before your motherboard or your hard drive if its a flat ribbon 40 pin type IDE replace it this will be the first to fail

make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd floppy have secure dust free connections and are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs

power and data to travel through every working device and to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error

even something as small as a faulty power lead or fan lead can cause you problems

computers need all of the data and electrical current to travel through every working device and to have an end to be able work properly

make sure ram modules and cmos batteries have dust free secure seatings and cmos battery has charge some motherboards cmos batteries are soldered in

you might not have enough computer ram

not having enough computer ram will run your computer over its limits putting to much strain on the CPU central processing unit and can cause memory dumps

you might have to many programs trying to or accessing the internet at the same time scroll to bottom toolbar (bottom of screen) right click select task manager applications you will see whats running if you see anything you dont need running select end now and you might uninstall that specific program if you or computer does not require it to run and some unnecessary programs that could be jamming up your computer also under processes see what is ticking over in the background again if you see something you dont need to be and users you will see who is using your computer you might need to add more computer ram if you're not sure if a module is right for your system use the Crucial Memory Advisor tool for a list of guaranteed compatible modules. first you will need to select the manufacturer from a drop down list then select your product line from a drop down list then select the model then click find it will take you directly to compatible ram also you will have an option to scan your system you should always ask for a guarantee on the compatibility of the ram before making any purchase

might be getting hot

check you CPU make sure its securely seated and has thermal grease
