I have an eMachines W3107 desktop. I moved it from one room to another and the video went out when I went to set it back up. It has onboard video so I thought I'd just upgrade to a newer gpu anyway. Before the monitor would go into self test mode but now it acts like its in hibernation and won't come out of it....? Thought it might be the power supply so I had another one here I swapped it out for and still nothing.... Any ideas...?
 
The board might be bad (most emachine mobos go out after a few years, sometimes due to a weak psu). Borrow a vidcard from a friend (or from fry's if need be) and try it out. If you dont get any video, then its the motherboard. If you do get video output, return the borrowed card to its owner and decide which new vidcard you want to buy.

Though, you may want to rule out the ram and cpu, so if you have a friend who can test either, or if you can test them, go ahead and test them in another system. (run memtest, etc)
 
No beeps at all....

I replaced the Video Card with a PCI-e card from Best Buy. No luck there either....

Mobo shot...?
 
Here's what I have tried so far :

Cleared CMOS
Reseated Memory
Swapped PSU
Checked connections
Swapped monitors
Tried a PCI-e card instead of the onboard

Lost on this one....
