well no luck yet. Cleaned it out, booted into Cmos and set to default and stuff, but it still doesn't fully boot on Hart Start.
It starts- fans going full blast- but no monitor changes, black screen (with default onboard and video card) CMOS does NOT have AGP setting.
It seems sometimes if I let it "boot up" with th efans revving full blast, then hit power off/on again quickly, the fans die down quickly and it actually boots- sometimes... why do you think that is?
I can't seem to get it to even get to CMOS with just the onboard video....
CMOS video options are:
EGA/VGA (selected)
CGA40
CGA80
MONO
when going through options, (NOT changing anything!) it froze up..... I had to restart the computer, when it was just in the CMOS options... what does this tell you??
----
I managed to get a full boot finally, not that I think it'll stay that way, but I am searching for updates (windows and bios mostly) in hopes it is "that" simple of a fix...
Temp is running 39ish.. that's tolerable right? (CPU)
Emachines have been known (this type in particular) to overheat is all.

While Typing this, The computer Froze yet again....

Tried to format/reload, thinking maybe something is conflicting, but it froze at "setup is starting windows" before I even got to format/reload...
