E-Machines T6520 PC Desktop - Page 2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Install the RAM on memory slot and Switch on your system and go to BIOS settings. There you can check whether your RAM is working properly or not. If it shows no memory installed then the RAM Chip may be damaged.

I had the same problem, so I switched the Auto Source feature to "Manual" and so far it's working fine for the past 2 days, if I run into the problem again I'll update this message.

On the side panel of your monitor, press the top button to access the menu, scroll down to the setup menu (by pressing the 3rd button down on the panel), press the 4th button down to enter the setup menu, scroll down to "Auto Source", use the 4th button to select, "Auto" & "Manual" are your choices.. press the 2nd button down to select "Manual" then the top button to exit the menu(s).

This monitor is set up to be able to do multi display with the software included. Utilizing both Digital and Analog signals. I'm not using this feature so I'm not sure how switching the Auto Source off will affect the performance of this feature.

this is just a rough attempt at helping you with your problem but if your on wireless and its a built in modem then maybe the modem is not connected right and not communicating with your computer.

Hi Keith... here is all I could find on this machine, I assume this is how yours is set up. Component details are almost impossible to get on E-machine units, they just do not provide them.

• Processor Intel Celeron D 356 / 3.33 GHz
• Memory 512.0 MB / 2.0 GB (max)
• Hard Drive 120.0 GB - 7200.0 rpm
• Operating System Microsoft Windows Vista

First, you want to check to see if your proc even can be changed; many of E-machine procs are permanently attached to the motherboard and cannot be removed; this is the cheapest way to manufacture a computer, and E-machines is bottom of the line quality computer (no insult intended, just fact). Since I don't know what CPU socket the T3604 has I can't tell you if the Intel CPU would fit it. Next, I don't know what the Northbridge is running at; if it is less than 1066 there will be a bottleneck and there is no significant gain. At this point, I suggest that you not spend a lot of money on this, better to save and build your own computer. If you are a hardcore gamer looking for high framerates you really don't want this machine. Better to load in more RAM if you have no other options. Here is something I ran across: http://www.overclock.net/t/763634/what-to-upgrade-emachines-t3604 If I had the above details I could give you an answer.

www.dynamite.com might still sell what you want :> Just kiddding!Try a complete wiping of the hard-drive unless you are doing an upgrade, you will lose all data on the drive. If that doesn't work, you might not be running enough ram memory for 7 to run cleanly on you machiine, go ahead and upgrade.Hope this helps!

I found the micro switch power button was broke on a lap top and also on a home computer in another sitution. I replaced the switch and all worked well again. On the lap top the internal spring in the switch was broke and in the home computer the switch would stick. This might seem as too easy of a fix in your case, but I would sure look at this possibility first. If it's not the power switch, all the past suggestion are in order. Good luck

Remove any DVDs or CDs from the optical drives and then unplug all peripheral devices except for the keyboard and mouse. Click the "Windows" button and then type "eMachines recovery management" into the search box. Click on "eMachines recovery management" in the results list and then click the "Restore" tab. Click "Password Settings" and then type a new password into the text box. Click "OK" and then click "Restore System to Factory Default". Type the recovery password into the "Password" text box and then click "OK". Click "Next" To start the recovery process. Click "Finish" and then wait for your computer to restart. This procedure could take several minutes. Once your computer has restarted, you'll be prompted to create a new user account, enter the date and time and set up the internet settings. or if you are running XP If you set your machine back to eMachines factory settings, it might help you for a short while but if you don't have effective virus protection your problems will return in short order. You should get rid of this virus with an effective virus remover. You can run Bitdefender's free online scan which doesn't need to be downloaded http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html If you know when you got the virus, you can do a system restore to a time before the virus was on your system. This article tells you how to run it from safe mode http://bertk.mvps.org/html/safemode.html Your best protection in general is a complete internet security suite such as Bitdefender or Norton internet security 2009. More information here http://www.ask-the-computer-doc.com/comp... If you need to totally rebuild your system and you don't have a recovery disk, contact eMachines to get one. You might also try a Windows repair install if you have the operating system disk. Follow the directions here for XP http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepa...

Is the power LED on the monitor ON, if not check the power cable connection at the monitor and at the mains.Check the video cable connection at the PC.Try a different working monitor on your PC and see if the monitor works on a different PC (the monitor maybe faulty).

You will find (normally in the bottom right) 2 rows of pins sticking out of the motherboard. Some of these will have connections to them with wires coming out and going to the front of your cumputer. Look for a free space usually about 2 or 3 pins, marked PWR, O/I or PSW. Alternatively it may be color coded Blue or Green is usually the color for the power switch. I have attached a picture of an e machine motherboard showign the location of the connectionsOne of hte pins might be marked with a + this can be ignored if you are just connecting the power switch.

Look for a heatsink fan based on the CPU chip set. Like LGA775, but double check your CPU. Gateway / Emachine pointed me to:http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/eMac/5646/5646cl3.shtml Good Luck

When the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail. A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are clogged with dust. Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan. If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use a small brush and can of compressed air to do this.

http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=D845GVSR-BO-R I would like you to 'jumpstart' it, and then post back in a Comment. Jump the Soft Power On of the 20-pin ATX main power cable. Power supply plugged into power, 20-pin ATX main power cable plugged into motherboard. Straighten out a paperclip, then bend it into a U-shape. Put black plastic electrical tape around the top of the U. Turn the U upside down. You are going to use the 'legs'. The legs go down in the back of the main power cable's connector. (Where the wires go in) One leg goes down into a socket hole with the Green wire, RIGHT NEXT TO the wire, and MAKE SURE it touches the metal terminal at the bottom. The other leg of the U-shaped jumper wire goes down into ANY socket hole with a Black wire. Contact made is brief. Does the Power Supply turn on? As stated, post back in a Comment. http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain20

Your problem has to do with Windows Update causing the error.Try clicking on the link below and run the Fixit from Microsoft.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058Then run the Service Pack 2 download and install.

Shuts down and restarts the boot process automatically continuously. Try turning it off, then hit the power button and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE Mode. Scroll down and see if you see an option to Cancel or Stop automatic restart on system failure. If you do click that and try rebooting your machine. It should tell you what exactly is the problem so you can read it without it rebooting all the time. If it's that you need a CMOS battery you're in luck. Just turn the computer off, remove the case, sit the computer on it's side, get a flashlight and look inside for a battery about the size of a nickel. Normally the size of the battery is CR2032 which can be purchased at Walmart or you local grocery or drug store for $5.00. Just use a small flat head screw driver to remove the old battery and pop in a new one.

the PCI simple comm controller is part of the chip set drivers. You can find these at E-Machine's website, under support. Since you did not provide a model number I can not be more specific than that.
