3 beeps means the ram is probably not seated correctly.
Turn off the system and reseat it. It is keyed with a little notch on the bottom that has to line up with the little piece in the memory slot.

[dssole23]

still nothing wich way do i have to put it i put it right sided

[dssole23]

i just read to use a pencil eraser on the edges should i?

[rshaffer61]

It will only fit one way correctly. If it is not right the memory will rock since it is not seated on the slot correctly.

What is the model of your emachines?

emachine t3882

OK that was not fun at all. Your motherboard only has the old PCI slots for video upgrade. Below is the default specs for your graphics onboard.

# Type Integrated
# Graphics Processor / Vendor Intel Extreme Graphics 2 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 2.0
# Video Memory 64.0 MB (max)

Now with that in mind you would need something with at least double the video memory so I pulled this list up from TigerDirect
