eMAchine T6426 - push the power button - fans rev at high speed - XP does not kick in, turn of, turn on numerous times - then a beep, beep and OS kicks in, no high reving fan - any ideas ?

New power supply, replace as soon as possible, the current one is literally frying the board inside the computer. Replace the power supply now you may just about be able to prevent enough damage occurring before the board packs up altogether.

Neil,
Installed new power supply - same problem...related to previous post. I have to push in power button a number of times before the OS kicks in....push power, fans rev, nothing happens, push-hold-power off....push power, fans rev, nothing happens, push-hold-poweroff - repeat until OS kicks in ?????????????????????????????????????? any ideas?

like he said it probably killed off or nearly killed off your motherboard.... I still have a couple of emachine carcasses laying around here from the same type of problem....

Mainboard is nearly dead. Replace it. Even a cheap budget board from Asrock or whoever will be better than the eMachines board.
