Computer stuck on black screen from crashing

I had to crash my emachine due to it freezing when trying to restart it freezes on the black screen at the beginning from crashing it with the power button

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    using the power button will not "crash" the hard disc because the voice-coil motor automatically parks the heads when the drive loses power.. so are you saying your pc wont boot up?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    Your hard drive has a problem. Try booting from your Windows installation cd and using the recovery console to repair your master boot record. If you need specific instructions for this try premium chat or ask.com

Make sure that your hard drive is set as first boot device and disconnect all the USB devices from the system and than try to boot.

How can I get more speed from my computer? When trying to play any online games it freezes and crashes

install more ram. i hate to bash on a pc manufacturer but emachines tends to go with lowest bidder parts. it's probably your graphics that can't keep up and it may be overheating or overloading the cache/buffer. if you give me your model number and what game you're playing i can verify this. you need to make sure your system has supports the minimum requirements for the game

Computer turns on but will not load windows. Freezes after gateway comes on. Plus cannot start in safemode

Enter the BIOS and ensure that the Hard drive is indeed being seen by the computer.

Open up the chassis side panel and ensure that all conections are making contact.

Im guessing XP and if you have the CD do whats called a repair install. Choose the upgrade option then install it, this will not harm any of your programs at all you will just have to do all the windows updates when its finished. Cheers and please vote

Of course, but it should be a major failure that would make them practically unusable - not your case. You most likely use IE and it's a POS that crashes with regularity when it's encountering a more demanding site. Just use another browser and your problem  will go away. Don't forget to scan your pc for malware before.

Crashed hard drive on emachines T5026

Pardon me, but NO! The statement, "two things are responsible for booting up computer RAM and Hard Drive" is simply not true.

A hard drive crash COULD cause the symptoms you describe, but that is more indicative of a virus infection. When you say the XP reinstallation disk would not start it exactly how did you use that disk? Attempt to use the repair console? Boot directly from the disk? Attempt reinstallation of the whole operating system? If you attempted reinstallation, do you also have the specific drivers for all of the components E-Machines used when they built your computer (you will need at least some of them.)

Post again with some more details about how you used the reinstallation disk.

Emachine W6409 will no longer turn on

Your hard drive is probably crashing or has crashed. You need to start your computer with an XP CD and try to use the repair function. You'll be able to tell if the hard drive is still working or not once you run the repair function. Let me know what happens or if you run into any problems.
