I am trying to install

No problem with the motherboard's BIOS, most likely the disk doesn't have the correct drivers for your OS.
Download (as in Save, not Run) and install the latest version of the driver for your OS from here

Nothing serious, sounds like you may have accidentally disconnected some of the wiring by accident while wiping the dust away! Just reopen it and check what's unplugged in the system. - Hope that helped =]

Took side panel off to clean the inside put it

Check that you did not turn off power switch on the back of the cpu. That switch has to be on before the one in the front of the unit will work.

This error can show up during installation of the operating system either via the hard drive (the restore feature is located on the hard drive and shows up as a drive letter under My Computer) which indicates that you have bad memory,
OR
You are installing from a DVD or CD, in which case it could be either bad memory or a bad disk.

good luck

Screen says reboot and select proper bootdevice

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.

Recovery disk for Emachine T5642

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

T5026 bios download

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.

Problem getting recovery disk

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.
  5. Note: If there are multiple Recovery CDs, please insert the first Recovery CD.
  6. 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.
