SOURCE: I have a Emachines T5026. It has 2 256mb memory

Did you buy DDR PC 2700 ram modules?
Are you sure you've fully seated them in the slots, and clipped them in? See here for compatible memory options for your system.
See instructions to add ram on page 50 of your manual here. or here.
eMachine support doesn't offer any bios updates, so I'd let it go for now...just make sure you have updated hardware drivers...

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.
If I've managed to answer your question or solve a problem, please take just a moment to rate this post....thanks!

SOURCE: need video driver for Emachine T3604

I'd suggest deleting the existing video driver and then reinstall.

Hello,
I'm sorry to say this but your hard drive may be faulty and need a replacement. Your files might still be retrievable but you will need to take it to a repair center to get it retrieved or plug it as an external hard drive and try to retrieve data yourself. But nevertheless, it seems like your hard drive gave in and will need to be replaced with a new one..

Thanks,
Lolita

Hopefully you have a windows installation cd or a recovery cd. If you do then you need to install it into your cd rom drive. Reboot the computer and you will see a message that says to press any key to boot from CD. If you do not get this message and it goes straight to your boot screen then you should re-enter your BIOS and change the boot order so that the computer will boot from the CD first. Then reboot (if this was the case). When you enter the windows set up you will want to press R to start the recovery console. Select your windows OS by pressing the number corresponding with the listing for windows (most likely "1"). Then you will want to enter your administrative password. If you don't have one, just press enter. This should bring you to a command prompt. Once at the command prompt type CHKDSK. This will perform a scan of your hardrive and fix any errors. Upon restart, your computer should boot into windows. If not, then repeat this process, but instead of CHKDSK, type in fixmbr. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: is it possible to replace sound card on emachines T3604

You you could replace it... np...

But it could be just a Driver or Software issue. I would update the Audio Driver... go to: http://www.emachines.com/support/drivers.html and locate your PC Model the Download the Audio Driver. It shows 2... use the first one. If that fails try the second one... the second one will write over the first...

If both fail... then if you want to do it youself... head to a PC store. If you are mechanically inclined and can read directions... I would try it youself.
You will need a PCI Audio Card... Install it at the very bottom or last Slot in the System. Of course Power unplugged and again follow the instructions.
