hope it helps

In My Humble Opinion, Heather, YOU can fix anything in your computer.

You have replaced a Power Supply, and added a graphics card.


1) The eMachines T5212 Desktop PC uses an Intel D102GGC2 motherboard,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121031

The motherboard supports an LGA 775 processor socket,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_775

Instead of the processor having the contact pins, as in the older Intel Pentium 4 processors (Socket 478), the LGA 775 processor socket has the contact pins.

After the page fully loads click on the third view down, and the left side.
This inside view shows the black rounded air duct, used on the processor fan.

Here is a replacement Heatsink/Fan combo,

http://www.cputopia.com/emachine-fan-t-series-t5212.html

It looks as though the unit comes apart. (unscrews)
If so you can just replace the fan itself.

IF not however, it means the finned aluminum Heatsink, AND fan remove.
In this case you have to THOROUGHLY clean the top of the Processor, and bottom of the Heatsink, and apply Thermal Paste properly.
I can guide you.

[ I know you have been following the proper procedures, but I would hate to learn later that you haven't been, and I didn't post;

Follow Anti-Static Precautions
Your body carries Static electricity. Static WILL fry out (Short Circuit), the delicate hardware components inside a computer.

Relieve your body of Static BEFORE working on your computer, or before taking those parts out of their anti-static bags, or cartons.

Computer on a table, computer Unplugged from power, computer case open;
TOUCH an unpainted surface, of the metal frame of the open computer case.
This action will relieve your body of Static.

IF you leave your computer in the middle of working on it, be SURE to Touch the metal frame again upon your return ]

Be sure to clean in-between the fins of the Heatsink, before installing the new fan.

Know you need to get a new computer?
Only if it fits your needs.

For myself it is internet, Youtube, Adobe Photoshop 7, and office programs.
My Pentium 4 HT, model 540j, (3.2GHz), 2GB's of ram memory, and an ATI Radeon 9250, does just fine.

If you are a gamer, and/or use 3D programs, and/or burn videos, then more 'power' is needed. IMHO.

Windows 7? Windows 8? Yeah, whatever.
I have Win7 on my new laptop.
Perhaps one day Windblows will catch up with Ubuntu and the Compiz windows manager, lol!

Very sorry about your son.

If you can't find the real problem, you can always put that hard drive into another PC to get the files. If so, be sure to looking to a potential "jumper" setting on that drive for it to be recognized.

if you have a recovery option you can try that. that option allows you to reload the previously known good start up operating system before you added any new updates. you should have an option to choose a previous date.

If my sources are correct, (Haven't worked on one in my shop yet), the eMachines T5212 desktop computer uses an Intel D101GGC2 motherboard.

The Intel D101GGC motherboard is Very similar,

Give a few seconds for the first page to come up, (Took 6 seconds for me), and for the PDF file to fully download, before looking through it. (Took 24 seconds for me)

1) Did you make sure the 24 -pin ATX main power cable, is plugged in tight?
Lock on the side is snapped in place?
Page 42.

Closer look at a 24-pin ATX main power cable, and it's respective connector,

2) Did you plug in the 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable?

That's power for the Intel Pentium D model 805 processor.

Are the cables (Wires) from the Front Panel of the computer, plugged in correctly into the Front Panel header on the motherboard?
Page 37

Are you sure the DDR2 Sdram ram memory module/s (Stick/s) are plugged in tight?

The best method is to remove it, or them, and reinstall.
This way you are assured.

Most of the time a ram memory module, or more than one, will be bumped loose when installing a Power Supply.

try downloading this http://www.drivershq.com/Drivers/eMachines/T-Series/T5212/22605/22647/25589/Drivers.aspx It should help you get drivers you need.

Yes the emachine e627 does have built-in WLAN (Wi-Fi).

From the manual:
Communication
• Integrated webcam*
• WLAN: IEEE 802.11b/g
• LAN: Fast Ethernet; Wake-on-LAN ready.
