20 Most Recent E-Machines T6212 PC Desktop Questions & Answers

Your machine has 4 DIMM slots. They use PC3200 (DDR400) DIMMS (184-pin). The machine comes pre-installed with 2, 256MB DIMMS providing 512MB of RAM. The largest DIMMs available in the DDR PC3200 are 1GB. If you keep what you have, you can add an additional 2GB of RAM, for a total of 2.5GB. If you are running WINXP 32-bit, this should be more than acceptable. You can replace all four DIMMS and get 4GB of RAM, but a 32-bit OS can only access a little of 3GB of RAM. If you want to come close to maxing out under a 32-bit OS, remove one of the installed DIMMS and add 3 1GB DIMMS. These are old memory and may be hard to find and actually cost more than newer memory.

have you checked all the cables from the computer to the monitor,, if there all connected correctly
then you might want to have a computer tech check the machine, it could be a cable, or motherboard or harddrive or power supply going bad

Hi:
Let's start with the smoke first; probably the pc received an overload and the power unit burned. No big deal. You can buy a PC power unit from 30 bucks all the way to the hundreds. It comes with instruction. Just open PC's main cover disconnect all cables and recycle the burned unit. Here's the link from amazon for a cheap one. http://www.amazon.com/Antec-BP350-Basiq-Power-Supply/dp/B000H9J3ZC
Now if you want to take the hard drive off, also you can do that, disconnect all cables from the hard drive and purchase the cable kit to transfer all data to another computer. Here's the link for the cables: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018MCGVU
Good Luck!

Connect the speaker to the green jack outlet.

is your computer windows 7 compatible? Check here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

If you have multiple memory sticks(RAM), try using only 1 memory stick(at least 246MB of RAM) for the installation. It could be the memory causing the problem.

Hope this helps! :D

Most front panels are held on by friction plugs that have a spring like function that expands into the hole. Gently pull on one end of the front panel and it comes off.

Thank you for using Fixya.

Hope you are not using a Wireless mouse. If so change to a normal mouse. Click Start button - settings - Control panel - power management option.

Restore to the default settings by selecting from the dropdown list on the powe schemes tab - laptop\desktop and carefully look at the power management options. Please check for virus on your system with a good antivirus software. This should resolve the issue else you have to do a OS Repair. Good Luck.

the only real way of handling it is to get your self an OEM dISK FROM THE STORE or local retailer.

Thanks and please comment and leave review.

If you get only one BEEP at boot then the computer is working..

Do you have a 2nd monitor to test with?

if it BEEPS more then once...
pull out your mem chips and test,,
If itt works them one of the mem chips are bad if not..
pull out all pci cards and test.. if it works its a bad card...
if not unplug all HD and CD roms and test.......

If not fixed yet it maybe a onboard video problem...

But IF you put a video card in b4 the problem started then your bios may have auto set it sellf to PCI/AGP mode.

Check bios setings,, look for onbord setings for the video

Do you have a recovery CD? If so, just boot from that cd.

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!
