• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

my gf has a crappy emachines t6524 that has this seemingly strange problem.

when you hit the power button, it seems to start to boot but never gets past that initial point where it's starting to spin everything up, and if you watch the lights on the front both disc drives and the HDD light blink synchronously, then if i hold the power button sometimes it'll power off then come back on instantly, or power off. when it powers off, i can press the power button again and it'll actually start up.

do any of you have an idea of what may be causing this behavior?
