3 beeps no boot

After I upgraded from Window XP media center to Vista Up I had nothing but problems. Did not know if the problem was a virus but was so unhappy with Vista I deleted everything and tried to set up original operating system disc. It started once. Since then the computer beeps 3 times. Fans start and a green light in the lower felt corner comes on but the computer will not boot up.

3 bleeps usually relating to memory... try removing and re-inserting RAM and video cards... or try them elsewhere in another machine. It may be wise to remove all the RAMs and add one at a time while trying to reboot.

NOTE: Remove the power wait a few moments before handling each RAM.

Another cause since it's been 'sitting' a while could well be the power supply due to failing capacitors, so trying another wouldn't be a bad idea.

You will need a bootable antivirus solution to clean the viruses off of the machine if it's that bad, or at least that is the easiest way I know of.

Look, here is the real deal, your PC when booted to the hard drive into windows OS has what are called OS protected files. That means that even the best scanner will not remove it totally from the machine while booted in Windows OS.

When you use a bootable AV solution it runs the OS from the CD, then when you are scanning the drive for those little nasties, it can be remove, because the OS on the drive is not protecting them.

However be aware when using this method, that any files can and will be removed!!! The way I look at it, if it's a virus I don't want it on my hard drive! period! Then once the virus is removed format and reinstall the OS. Sorry to hear about your Recovery Partition!

There are ways to make these yourself, but if you don't know what your doing, relax Bart has you covered!

Check that out, that should fix you up. Yeah I know this is not a free solution, but one I know will work!

SOURCE: PC wont start/boot

Unplug all drive cables, backwards P-IDE can cause this issue.
If this doesn't help remove the video card if possible If the motherboard is alive you should get a video beep.
If you don't hear anything remove the ram, you should get a memory beep. If you don't get a memory beep it's either the motherboard or CPU.
You could try to clear the CMOS and if the system has a backup BIOS review the manual to boot with the emergency BIOS.

sounds like an issue with your motherboard or something like that...try resetting the motherboard by unplugging the power, taking out the battery of the motherboard inside the computer and pressing the power button several times to drain the power. then put the battery back in, plug in the power cord and try to start it up. if it doesnt work then ur gonna have to contact emachines because ur mobo is either defective or broken...

If you still have the original eMachine software as your desktop, go to Start > system Recovery > Create my Drivers and Application CD disk.

This will create a CD that will contaon all the drivers for your eMachine.

The disk is corrupted and it interferes with the install process. Just get this
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
boot from it and format your entire disk to reiserfs then to FAT32 - this way any trace of the old NTFS file system is thoroughly wiped. Now launch the recovery process one more time and it will automatically detect the FAT32 partition and will reformat it to NTFS in the process.

I have a Dell Vostro desktop given to me by my wife's aunt. I ran the system restore disk and named myself system administrator, with a password. The PC runs Vista business. I have a HP printer that does...

Yes, wiping out you hard drive would be the best solution to the problem. To explain things, first, the system telling you that you do not have admin rights even though you are the admin, it can only be done by a virus (most likely, a trojan virus) that declines your admin previleges so that the virus can take control of the system, also the reason why there is a ghost boot residing in the dual boot (that should technically shouldn't have in the first place), get the idea? Anyway, to make the explanation short, hard drive wipeout is the permanent solution, then, you can install back a fresh copy of Vista (or XP if you prefer)...

I wnat to reformat my com from window vista to window xp, i have the CD for window xp how can i do that

Best way is boot to the VISTA DVD and delete the NTFS partition. Once you have done that, you should be able to boot to the XP CD and install XP. Caution, make sure you have already downloaded and saved the XP drivers for this model system, before you do the XP install. Some vista systems do not have drivers for XP or have FIRMWARE issues with rolling back the OS on some devices (Dell bluetooth 360 is one)

Vista Media Cnter does not detect Hauppague USB tuner

This is a typical example of why so many Vista users are installing XP on their systems. Even Bill Gates himself expressed dissatisfaction with Vista at a meeting a few weeks ago and spoke about an early release of Microsoft's latest Operating System Windows 7 to solve Vista's issues shooting for early 2009 for it's release. So, if all else fails and it may, downgrade/upgrade to XP (If it ain't broke? Don't fix it!).

Acer 3050

During the windows installation, did you delete the partition, recreate the partition, format, then reinstall?

Sometimes viruses can last through reformats, but deleting the whole partition, then recreating it can fix the problem.

KWorld ATSC 310U on Windows Vista 32bit Problems

Hi, the real problem here is VISTA, despite Microsofts hoopla this program is not as good as faithful old XP. The driver base is almost empty and a whole host of software and hardware just will not work with it. I reccomend you go back to XP until Microsoft releases a service pack with driver updates and then upgrade to VISTA. Regards mistyman
