    Emachine E8400 with OS Windows 7 not booting
    « on: April 23, 2011, 01:01:20 AM »
    I have looked through recent posts, but there isn't the same model as mine having this problem.
    My CPU clicks and beeps about 6 times on start up(now it doesn't stop beeping!)
    It then does either of the following things:
    Shows a screen with 'American megatrends' on it with info about the computer, such as stepping, cache,auto detect etc on it which doesn't seem to let me do anything. Down the bottom it has press F1 to continue... when I do I get ... reboot and select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.
    I then can't do anything except turn it off.
    I don't have any cd's or anything for the system.
    It is still under manufacturer's warranty but I'm not sure if they will fix this?
    I can get into the set up utility but I'm not sure what to do here?
    If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance...

    If under warranty I'd take advantage of that. If you break the seal to inspect the issue you will void your warranty.

      Thanks, yes I think that's the smart thing to do.
      It would have to happen on the longest public weekend in history!!!(In Australia) ::)
