Unfortanately, thats what you get for buying cheap crap.

Have a look at this thread - https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic62782.html

Your motherboard is bad.

Replace the power supply too

And the other problem, if you dont replace it with the exact same over priced mobo then you will need to go out and buy a proper windows install disk too.

emachines

ha ha.....i just want to get the thing started up before i worry about reinstall disks

and ive even tried clearing the cmos and everything

When e-crap machines blow their PSU they also take out the motherboard. This will require replacement of both. It probably would be more cost effective to just replace the system and salvage the hard drives.

ill never buy another thing off of emachines or gateway or acer.........all junk....but at least i got around 2 and a half years out of this junk system
