First thing to check is the CMOS settings. When you turn the machine on, it should beep once and produce something on the screen.  Some machines will print a message like "press F2 for set up", others will want you to press "delete", some "esc", and "cntrl-alt-s".  Anyway, if you don't get any beeps OR you get multiple beeps, then it's a configuration problem.\n\nNext thing to check is if the hard drive spins up.  Open your case, get a wooden spoon from the kitchen, put the small end on the hard drive and the spoon end to your ear, and turn on the machine.  If you don't hear it spin up, replace it.\n\nIf the CMOS setting can be retrieved, and the hard drive spins up, you should get a message on the screen like Bad MBR, No operationg system, etc.  These can be fixed by reinstalling the operating system or using tools from the operating system to recove them.\n\nCheck these things out, then ask another question once you have more details.

you might wanna try to go into your bios and see if the boot from hard drive is still enabled. you might have it booting up from your cd rom drive or something

to find out if your mother board is dectective, first if you put power on, and nothings happens presumed you got a good power supply and right connection and connectors, nothing even beeps and the fan on the processor not working then you got a busted mother board, that 101% defective board you got

Shut it completely off and unplug it from the wall.  Open the case so you can see the motherboard.  Look for a silver battery on the motherboard (about 1 inch diameter or smaller).  Somewhere close to the battery, you will see a jumper (also known as a link setting).  \n\nThis is the CMOS jumper, and it will be positioned on 2 of the 3 available pins.  Remove it from the the 2 pins on one side (could be on pins 1 and 2 or on 3 and 4...doesn't matter) and place it on the other end (pin 2 will be used on both settings, only 1 and 3 will change).  Let it sit for 10 seconds, then return it to the position it was in when you found it.\n\nReplace the cover and plug it back into the wall.  Turn on the computer and let it try to boot up.  If it works, cool, you've fixed it.  If you get the same error, you need to reboot and this time when it starts up press whatever key you need to get into the Bios (could be delete or F8 or F12, whatever).\n\nOnce in the Bios, make it search for you fixed disk drives...it should come up with each drive and how big they are.  If it finds all the installed drives, great!  Hit Save And Exit and allow it to reboot.  If it still comes up with that error, you may have a corrupted drive...it's now time to call in the professionals.\n\nI hope this helps!

Could be anything of a million and one reasons.\n\nTry taking the CD back out and see if it boots now.\n\nYou might have zapped the motherboard with static.\nYou might have unseated the RAM.\nYou might not have hooked the power supply back up.\nYou might have...\n\n///

You need to enable Advanced Power Management in the bios setup. \nTry the link below for details.

If it is making noises like the hard drive is being accessed, check your monitor cable.  I assume you checked to make sure the monitor is working already.\n\nIf the PC is not making any noises, check the cable there.  It might have power, but is it turning on?  The ATX cases can show lights without actually starting the computer.\n\nOutside of that, I don't have enough to go on.\n\n-Dio

it is overheating. chack the fan on the motherboard. Best test is to switch it off for an hour and then start it if it runs fine aofr  awhile then it is a fan problem. Even if the fans are working they may not be running fast enough\n\nterry\nhttp://www.beanwebs.co.uk

Check to be sure that you did not accidently bend out of the little wires in the monitor plug.  You are sure it is plugged in (gotta ask...)\n\nAlso, are you sure the PC itself is actually booting?  Are you seeing the lights flash on he keyboard and the CD drive.  Can you hear the hard drive loading Windows?  If not, you may have knocking one of the cards (video, memory, etc) lose inside the box.  You are getting no picture because the PC is not booting.

You may have fried a piece of hardware due to static charge. Did you discharge your body before touching the computer? Unfortunately, its hard to tell without looking at the computer itself. Are there any lights on the interior of the computer on or flashing?\n\nYou may be better off taking it to a repair shop, although it will be expensive. It could be as simple as one component not allowing the box to boot.

This sounds as if your power supply on the PC itself went bad.  Especially if you have checked all your power connections, and you are still on getting power to your system.  \n\nyou may need to contact E machines and see if your system is stll under any warranty.  If you have any Geek friends, have them check it out to make sure its the power supply, and not the motherboard, memory, and/or processor.

Usually if it is a dead processor, a good indication is when you turn on your PC, lights come on, but no video signal.\n\nHere is a list of Stop Error messages\nhttp://www.updatexp.com/stop-messages.html\nYours is there.\n\nIt very well could be your processor is on it's last leg and even possible that your Motherboard is about done too. Make sure the processor fan is clean of dust and dirt. A dirty fan will not move air as well, and it may be a matter of a processor that is overheating.

if the tower is all working (light is on and display is showing on monitor) then chances are the OS is damaged. recover using the recovery disc or in some cases using the resest config data option in BIOS

Sounds like a memory problem.\n\nIf you have more than one stick then take them all out in order.\nPlace No2 stick only in slot one and boot, if the problem is still there, then take that stick out and put No one stick only in slot one and boot again.  If at any stage one of these sticks work correctly then the remaining stick was at fault and is the bad one that needs to be replaced.\n\nAlso it could be down to the CPU overheating, try removing the computer case side panels and see if that helps\n...Can you boot into safe mode at all...e-mail me if you can and I will try and continue to help you.\n\nHope this helps you.\n\nGood Luck.\n\nRay

check your power supply and makes sure it is connected correctly, and make sure the power supply isnt a dud
