Friend has a problem with his computer so he gave it to me to look at. The original problem he was having was that the computer would get stuck for maybe 20 minutes at the "e" screen upon turning it on then stick at the black windows screen forever. I eventually turned it off after letting it sit there for a few hours. I was able to fix this by running system recovery and setting it back to its last working condition, with him sitting here and giving me the ok. New problem is logging in. I get the error message "The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded" I believe I could fix this from safe mode possibly but I'm having a lot of trouble booting into safe mode. I've held F8 to no success. continuously pressed F8 and managed to get to some screen that lists "Windows 7/Vista/Server (Pointer) Windows 7/Vista/Server Windows 7/Vista/Server (Debug - Default mode) Windows 7/Vista/Server (Debug - Legacy mode) Windows 7/Vista/Server (No SLIC - Pointer) Windows 7/Vista/Server (No Slic) Windows NT/2000/XP Loader Help" The first option just loads straight through and gets me to the log on screen. The next five options take me to "eMachines Recovery Management" which only gives me the option to exit. The last two options take me to the Command-Line screen. I'm at a loss. I hate emachine.
Try a live boot cd. Like hbcd. If you need the address for the download just google it "download 15.1 hbcd" and you should see it. Or get a copy from a friend. You can run a copy of xp off the cd. I do it all the time as I am right now. You need a hard drive to run it. It is free. It also has many great and free utilities on the disk to troubleshoot computers. Good Luck.
I boot with the hbcd and it takes me to safe mode section right away
from there it takes me to a screen that says microsoft corporation after that it freezes with a black screen and a mouse pointer
I have changed the key board and mouse keyboard is standard 101 and standard mouse
try a usb optic mouse. also try a optic ps/2 mouse. also try different usb ports, thre front and back of the machine. make sure the keyboard and mouse are new, sometimes you can have a defective mouse or keyboard.
another way is to use a wireless keyboard with a touchpad, usb. I say this because I use mine all the time and it only uses one usb port.

You're already following the proper sequence to boot into safe mode by pressing the F8 key while booting the computer. Unfortunately, getting into safe mode is not going to resolve your problem. Most likely, your hard drive is failing - and having a very difficult time reading and writing to the disk. That is why everything is taking so long. Reinstalling the OS will not resolve the issue. You need to replace the drive asap.
To boot into safe mode press F8 continually on and off from before the windows logo!
As stated above, I've done this over and over to no avail. Just takes me to some unlabeled screen with those options. Thanks you.

SOURCE: em model t3085 will not boot
if you have another pc in the house. take the hard drive form the E-machine and set the jumper to slave. and connected as secondary drive on the other machine. backup all of the files and reinstall the OS on the E-machine.
SOURCE: I have an eMachine T3410. When it boots, a screen
well what i would try is typing "\minit\system32\biosinfo.inf download
in google when you find the download go to system32 and replace the inf with the new one you just downloaded. that should fix the error
SOURCE: My emachine loads up PCI device listing and cant exit.
First of all your recovery disk didn't work and so it keep asking you for it.
Here’s what to do. Boot from your windows disc and choose Recovery Console when the Welcome to Setup screen appears (Press R to Repair the installation using the Recovery Console.) (Not the repair option on the installation/setup options screen).
If you do not have a standard US keyboard setup, e.g. You are in the UK with a UK setup, watch the grey strip at the bottom of the screen when the recovery console begins to load, which will ask you to press F5 (I think) and choose your keyboard language. If you don’t do this, your admin password, particularly if it contains non-alphanumerical characters may not be recognised. You will be taken to a black screen, which will ask which operating you wish to log in to. If you only have one, press ‘1’ and enter. If you have more than one, choose the operating system you wish log into and type in the appropriate number, followed by enter.
You will then be asked for the administrator password. If you do not have one press enter. If you do type it in and press enter.
You will be taken to a command prompt. Type in ‘chkdsk /r’ without the quotes. Note there is a space between the K and the forward slash. If you get the error message ‘Autochk.exe cannot be found’ or some other error in relation to a missing ‘autochk.exe’ file, then do the following at command prompt:
Type:CD C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
Now try the ‘CHKDSK /r’ command again.
This may take quite some time. It will check the disk and file system for errors and try to repair them.
You will get a report at the end telling you if errors were found and if they were fixed-.
Sometimes you get a message saying the chkdsk could not run because the disc contains unrecoverable errors or something similar.
The next step is to reboot. If chkdsk ran and corrected your errors, you may well be able to boot back into your o/s.
If chkdsk was not successful and you still cannot boot or could not run chkdsk the next step is the same.
Follow the instructions above and go back into recovery console.
This time at the command prompt type ‘fixboot’, again without the quotes and enter.
You may get a message along the lines of are you sure; this may make your data unrecoverable. You have to make that decision. I personally have never known this happen, and my philosophical view is my data is currently unreadable (note: not unrecoverable) and I am prepared to take the chance. Are you?
Then you have two choices. Reboot to see if this works. If it does, all well and good. If not, or if you choose not to reboot (not critical, but not recommended), at the command prompt in recovery console type ‘fixmbr’, again without the quotes. You may get a similar warning to the ‘fixboot’ command. My advice is the same, but you much choose whether to take the risk or not. Restart.
Hopefully you will now have access to your pc and files.
These are the steps I take when encountering this and similar problems. I have found them to be 99.9% effective- in other words, they only failed me once and in that situation I believe the hard drive to have been defective and replaced it.
Without warranty, at your own risk.

There are many ways. Before windows 7 it might be more difficult but now this OS will not erase your hard disk so you can install it and it willcreata a windows.old folder with your old information and folder system will be intact.
Reboot the computer As the computer is booting repeatadly press the F8 key as the computer is booting
If done properly the user should get to a screen similar to the below screen.
Select the option for Safe mode command prompt only
Windows Advanced Options Menu
Please select an option:

Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Enable Boot Logging
Enable VGA mode
Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
Debugging Mode
Start Windows Normally
Reboot
Return to OS Choices Menu
Use the up and down arrow keys to move the highlight to your choice
select safe mode with command prompt
Click start run type cmd press Enter
black screen should open DOS mode
this will vary depending on your operating system
type in net user username
For eg. If you want to change administrator password , type net user Administrator
it will prompt you to enter the new password
enter the new password and the password is changed
hope this helps
Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn it
back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE
MODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. Safe Mode will look
different to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this is
normal.
Try connecting another monitor to the computer.
Borrow a monitor from a neighbor, friend, relative or co-worker and
connect it to the computer. If the Borrowed monitor shows the 1 inch
black space then your video card might be going bad or you might have a
virus infection. If the Borrowed monitor displays ok then your original
monitor is bad.

As stated, I've done this to no avail. Takes me to an unlabeled screen. Thank you.
This is the procedure to get to the safe mode option..........It is one of those things that if not done in a particular way will not work correctly. Starting from the computer being off, start pressing F8 rapidly and do not stop or slow down until the safe mode page comes up, at the same time start the computer! This works for any computer!
