I have an emachines ET1331G-03W with windows 7 pre installed. The motherboard (most likely the processor) decided to quit working. So I bought a wicked awesome gaming pc from a garage sale that didn't have...

microsoft has a license type called OEM which detects the computer that it is installed on and some computers have the licence key stored in the bios of the computer.
So when you grab the old hard drive and put it in the next computer Windows will detect you changed computers and not run as per OEM licensing rules that it runs on only the original purchased computer.
You might be able to run the drive as a secondary drive but you would need to install a new windows operating system and hard drive. And then use a partioning program to make the secondary drive not an active drive.
also you new machine most likely has a different type of bios called EFI
and you would have to change its settings to run AMI Bios but I do not think that is your problem as I think it is OEM but it might be worth investigating if you can run a legacy bios in the bios settings.

How do you remove the hard drive from emachines ET1331G-03w?

if you cannot see a mounting bracket or anything like that then assume it is screwed into one of the drive bays on some pcs they have it so you have to remove a small caddy first. in others you have to remove both sides of the case to get to the screws on the other side, and some others even make you take the face plate off.

so my advice take your time and think about it methodically

IT SHUTS OFF AT BOOT UP

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
