Emachine does not boot both fans are working - T eMachines Computers & Internet

upon turning on keep hitting f8 repeatedly to get to the bios menu and check your boot sequence

When this happened was the laptop overly hot? If the laptop's head got too high it could have shutdown to protect itself. It wouldn't boot until the heat had disparate. Sit you laptop aside for about 30 minutes and see if it will boot then. If it does you might want to check out a cool mat.

hi Rpbarnhart.
this could be a few things wrong here.
the first thing i would get checked is the power supply.

Most likely either Motherboard or the CPU. Does this have a graphics card or built-in.
Standard procedure is to:
Clear the CMOS - chk manual for procedure.
Disconnect all cables from all drives and test.
Pull RAM and try with one module at a time in slot 1. Then try 1 in what might be slot 3, the 1st slot of second pair of slots.

Before giving up, I'd pull all the drive cables at once. Even carefully mark the front case wiring and pull everything but power switch if you can. You really want to remove all complications that might be an issue. Take it down to PSU, motherboard power, cpu fan and RAM.
Ok, there is Good news, and bad news. FIRST the bad news. You are not getting any power to the CPU. Fans and lights indicate motherboard power, BUT, power supplies ALSO provide power straight to the CPU, and if the CPU is not getting powered properly, it will not function.
or you could check these links out if the above does not work for you.

Build PC Emachine will not boot up

check the memory module and the processor. replace them if they are defective.

Yes. Got RAM? The heatsink fan? How about a video card, and all the 12V (4 to 6 pin) connectors? All plugged in suitably?

Try downloading puppylinux, burn it onto a cd then boot from the cd, if everything works fine, then you need to reinstall windows.

check all your ground screws on the motherboard. If that doesn't work try booting it up with out the hard drive. if that doesn't work, pop out the BIOS battery and unplug your computer, let it sit for about a min. and put the battery back in and restart.

Did you check the CMOS battery and the CPU fan. Those are two things that if aren't working the way they should be, then some computers will not boot up. Try this first then post a response if you still can't get it working.

Do you mean the power supply fan or the processor fan? Of the assemblies in a desktop, the power supply is the least reliable and the internal fan the most unreliable part. Since a failed fan can allow other parts of the supply to degrade, I recommend replacing the supply, not just the fan.
In eMachines, these are standard form factor (ATX) supplies so you would only need to order the same or higher power rating to have it compatible with your case.

Remove and reinstall memory.
