SOURCE: my computer shut down now i press the power button

Either the power supply has failed or there is an overload in the machine that is causing the supply to shut down. The second possibility may require professional help to find and repair the problem. Good luck!

Dosent turns on shows no boot

Doesn't Turn On? Shows No Boot? Your question is not clear at all? If you are getting No lights when you plug in the Power Cord and No Lights, No Fan Running, No Hard Drive Running when you press the Power Button, then either your Power Cord is Bad or your Motherboard is bad.

If You see Lights when you Press the Power Button but you see nothing on the screen then your problem might be the infamous NVidia Video Graphics Card problem which is a known manufacturing defect on your computer's model. To get around it you will have to take your computer to a repair shop and have the Nvidia Video Graphics Card reflowed. This requires disassembling your laptop completely. Get a quote from your local computer repair shops, then try the guys at: http://www.generalsystemsconsulting.com They will repair it and ship it back by Fedex or UPS at a price that will probably beat any quote you get including the shipping charge.

Compute turns on, lights light up, and fans move, but there are no beeps or bios showing up.

Hi,

Computer turns on but no display. This issue is commonly caused by electrical static on the motherboard. Try doing a power drain.

If this computer is a laptop:
1. Turn the computer off by pressing the power button for a bout 5seconds.
2. Take the battery out of the computer.
3. Unplugged the ac adapter.
4. Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. (without any power source)
5. Put the battery back in and plug the ac adapter back into the computer.
6. Turn the computer back on.

If this computer is a desktop:
1. Turn the computer off by pressing the power button for a bout 5seconds.
2. Unplug the power cable from the computer.
3. Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. (without any power source)
4. Plug the power cable back into the computer.
5. Turn the computer back on.

Thank you for choosing FixYa! have a good one!

My gateway 503gr will not power on when you press the power button has power to mother board every thing is plugged in there is a green light on the power supply and the mother board and the power switch...

This could have a bad power supply (in this case I would try a new one just in case).
All other things being normal, I would guess a bad motherboard.
The best thing to do is disconnect everything but the CPU and memory and try to start it.
If it starts, then start connecting stuff until it doesn't start--this will tell you what is bad.

When the computer on/off button is pressed , the CPU fan and tower exhaust fans start running, the blue light around the power button does not light and the boot up process goes no further. Fans continue...

A) When you hold a Power On button, (Switch actually), in for a count of 10 seconds, it turns the computer off.

(There is a Power On switch, located behind the plastic Power On button. Usually, the Power On switch snaps into the housing of the plastic Power On button.

Example of a typical ATX Power On switch,

http://www.directron.com/atxswitch.html

The Power On switch turns the Power Supply on.

Old computers had a metal rod, that when the Power On button was depressed, the button pushed against the metal rod, which in turn pressed against a power switch located inside the Power Supply.

The design after that, was a power switch located in the Front Panel. (Plastic front of the computer) A large cable, (Wire) ran from the switch to the Power Supply.

Now there is the Soft Power On feature. (PS_ON)

The Power On switch is a small Momentary Contact Switch. Pressing it closes a circuit. The Soft Power On circuit.

When a power supply is plugged into power, there is a constant 5 Volts (DC) present.
This is the 5 Volt Standby.

Closing the Soft Power On circuit, redirects the 5 Volt Standby power to a circuit within the Power Supply.
This in turn 'excites' the Power Supply, and turns the Power Supply on.

Sorry to be windy, but I wanted you to know how the Soft Power On feature works )

eMachines are a budget computer. As such they save the consumer money.
However in order to do this, the manufacturer will install low quality parts, in some areas of the computer.

One such part is the Power Supply.

1) ALL the LED lights combined use less than 1 Watt of power.

2) EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts

3) A typical Processor can use 51 to 125 Watts.
Depends on what Processor it is.
(Had you stated the Model Number I could have told you)

Enough power to spin fans, but not enough to spin fans, AND turn the Processor on.

Do you have access to another computer that is unused, but has a Known to be good, Compatible power supply?
It could be used for a test unit.

Tell me the Series, and Model Number of your eMachines, and I'll tell you what Wattage it should have, and what power cables, for the Power Supply.

(Some examples of Series, and Model Numbers, T1090, E4264, W2925, and so on. The T, E, and W are a few examples of the Series letter.
The numbers following the Series letter, is the Model Number)

If you wish I can direct you in removing the Power Supply, and installing the test unit. (And/Or a new Power Supply)

Acer Extensa 5420 won't turn on, not a power/battery problem.

Just for the heck of it, try blowing out the cooling fan with some compressed air. If you have never cleaned it and the fan stops turning, the computer will go into a safe mode and not start up.
Ther should be a vent somewhere on the side of the laptop that vents hot air cooling the CPU. That is where you need to blow it out.
Hope it helps- just a longshot...
