Why will my Emachines T5234 Desktop PC will turn on and go to the desktop but suddenly lose power afterwards?

It could be a number of things... Could be too low a power supply for what you are trying to run. Could be bad capacitors on the motherboard (check for bulges or brown spots). Could be a short somewhere! I have worked on a number of computers that would work fine, until (short for whatever reason) then it would act weird again. One would work fine till I put the side panel back on, then I would get all sorts of operating errors. Try running system with bare minimum components (or one at a time) to see which one is causing the problem. Might want to reset the BIOS while you are at it too. R

Why does my computer light come on but want boot and want show a screen and making a beeping sound

In simple terms, you have a hardware failure, probably in your motherboard, hard drive or memory. The beeps your hearing, are there for a reason. The way it works, is, when you first turn a computer on, it goes through a "Power-on, self test", (know as a POST). During this period, the BIOS queries the system hardware, such as the hard drive controller, the i/o ports, the memory, etc. and expects to receive back a specific return code which indicates that the specific hardware is running properly. If it finds a failure in some element of the hardware, it will issue a specific pattern of beeps to tell you which part of the system is failing. (It does this because the system may be unable to display the error on the screen). Each of the different BIOS manufacturers (BIOS is an acronym for "basic input output system, the hardwired code that talks to the actual hardware), have their own series of short and long beeps, for the different type of failures. So to know where the failure is, you must first know what BIOS manufacture you have in your computer. Some of the more popular manufacturers are: AMI, Award, IBM, Phoenix, Macintosh, etc. When you first turn on our computer, the display will report which brand of BIOS you have, and its version. Once you determine the brand, you can go to any number of web pages that have a cross-reference for the beeps for each brand on BIOS. I think most adhere to the old IBM PC beep codes as follows: No beeps: no power, bad CPU, 1 beep: normal 2 beeps: POST/CMOS error 1 long beep, 1-short beep: motherboard problem 1 long beep, 2-short beeps: video problem 1 long beep, 3-short beeps: video problem 3 long beeps: keyboard error Several long beeps: memory failure (most common fault) Continuous hi-lo beeps: CPU overheating You can check with the following websites to get an idea of what's going wrong. Computer POST and beep codes How to Diagnose Computer Beeps eHow Often times a SIMM has come loose in its slot (or corrosion on the connector tabs). If your getting a memory error, you can try opening the box and try re-seating each of the memory Simms to see it that might be the problem. (When you have them out, look at the row of pins along the bottom and see if any look corroded.)

My emachine desktop is not not coming on

I've owned nothing but e-machines towers for probably 9yrs. I've had this exact problem with two of them already. E-machines are notoriously known for power supply problems (which is usually about a $50 fix), but oddly enough the two problems I've ever had with the tower not powering up, resulted in being a problem with the motherboard. You can order another one, but it's VERY costly. Odds are that your info is still perfectly intact on your harddrive. When I experienced this problem, I removed the harddrive and installed it as a backup drive within a new tower. (I know you probably ask 'why keep buying them', but in my opinion, Gateway does a REALLY good job of keeping their "e-machines line" with up-to-date features and it's definitely hard to beat the low price!)

If you still have a perfectly functioning monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, etc, you may want to consider buying just a new tower (approx $250-$400 depending on brands)

EFI/Mircrosoft/Boot/BCD

It's not clear what exactly you mean. Generally, you don't connect two computers together using a USB cord. You can use a "cross-over ethernet cable" to connect the network jack of one computer to another computer. This allows transferring files and/or sharing an internet connection. If you have a wireless router you can enable Windows "File and Printer Sharing" on each computer and transfer files that way. Please provide more details of what you're trying to accomplish by connecting the computers together with a USB cable, and we may be able to give you a more specific answer.

WHT IS THE RAM AND WHERE IS IT LOCATED IN EL18505-42W

Install: Wood floor is best to stand on. Worst: Carpet adds static potential! Static can destroy your components inside your computer. Make sure to grab a hold of your case before, discharge static. You can choose to install one or 2 sticks of ram. 97ac61eb-e11a-418c-a9c4-6586c4976d82.jpg Image of what your main board might look like. Dual channel would be both sockets with same size sticks of ram.
