I recieved an Emachine from a friend and the problem is the computer won't beep. It won't show anything on the monitor. The graphics card is on board. Tried moving the ram into different spots didn't seem to work. We noticed the CPU fan rpm kept increasing and kept getting higher and louder. I know this is a crappy computer I build them myself. The only thing I can think of is the motherboard or processor is dead. I looked around I didn't see anything burnt I looked under the CPU too. I don't have any other specs right now.
 
The older eMchines were pretty well known for having really shitty PSU's... but if your not getting any post beeps at all and the PSU seems to be working, you could have a dead board.... in which case, your probably out of luck... but I'd at least check the voltages before assuming anything....
 
I ment CPU not PCU.

Where would I hook up the Voltometer to find that out? And what kind of reading am I looking for.
 
If it's one of the older models, as I assume it is, I can't really help you much there, I believe it's a proprietary PSU and I'm not sure what the voltages should be.... Get the model number off of the PSU when you have access to the machine and Google for the info you need....
