Emachine t6216 will not boot, fans stay on high and thats it. I do not hear hard drive spinning. It shut down a couple times while in use before this and came back on. also, it did not boot before and did on second attempt, now i get nothing but fans. I did clean it. Could this be power supply ? Thanks for any help.

Hi MIchael,

Before I start replacing hardware, I would boot to safemode, and let it run that way to see of the problem repeats. In Safemode, a lot of drivers and software that may be causing the problem won't start up.

As soon as your start your machine, tap the F8 key about twice a second. This should bring up a screen with several options. Select Safemode. You will get some warning, so just click yes on those. Your screen will look really strange, since your video drivers won't install. Let it run like that for a few hours. BTW, you won't have internet.
If that still reboots, or shuts down, chance are good it a hardware issue. Might be your Heatsink on the cpu is too dirty to cool, but the techs you took it to should have cleaned that.
Get back with us, and post how that works please.
You can also right click on My Computer>Manage>Event Viewer and look thru the different catagories. Look for issues with red marks on them. To read them, just click on them. This may give you idea what is failing.
A issues that is random is hard to troubleshoot.
Good Luck!

Power off the computer, remove the power cable, and remove the Ram sticks from your computer, then power the PC back on
if it beeps, that is a good sign, since it is detecting that their is no ram present (which the PC needs to load Windows)
if it doesnt beep, try removing all of your PCI devices and try again
if it isnt putting out video, however, and you have tried different combinations with the Ram, try another power supply, otherwise it may be a bad motherboard

signs of a bad motherboard include high fan speed (and not slowing down), the LED on the front is either off or brighter than normal, instead of flickering, and no video

hopefully that helps

All the E-machine computers I've worked on had the video as part of the motherboard. You might try borrowing a pci video card from someone and intalling it just to test. My solution is to buy a new computer if it won't work anymore, Walmart sells them for $300 to $400 with a monitor now days.

Hi. the mother board seems to be having some initialization issues during boot up. this is common when the mother board is failing. i would check to make sure the battery on this board is working. if it is, the board my be ruined.
power board seems to be fine.

try changing the memory cards if any one slot got the problem, clean the slot area from the ram., reset bios conf., it works
