I just got an emachine Et1331G-03w machine. I

Try reset the memory, CPU and check the CMOS battery voltage. ( 3 Volts )

Disconnect the main harness from the power supply before any of the above is completed.

Sometime, the CMOS battery on the Motherboard goes south and sometime just re-seating the memory and CPU will be enough to bring things back to life.
Hope this help you.

Hi
It seems like Operating System failure. Most probably corrupt system files.

• Try removing the hard drive and re-connecting it.
• You can also connect the hard drive to another machine (as a slave) for automatic repair.
  
• Or run an Original Windows disk and select 'repair' (R) on first page.

Hope it helps.
Thanks

I would check all the slots if that is the only slot giving you problems then that slot may be bad.

What type of disks are you using? You cannot use DVD RW. You need to use DVD - R . I have had this very issue. Hope this helps.

PS, once it tries to write to a dvd and fails, try a new one.

If you mean your cdrom drive wotn stay close, what can happen some times is the actually cdrom unit it self has shifted back inside its rack. try opening case and loosing a few screws here and there and shift it forward. make sure nothing has got stuck inside of door tiny bit of paper or anythign can cause it. hope this helps
