Hi I'm dean and I need some help for my pc.

The pc is an emachines e4252

Last week my pc crashed and I had to hold the power button untill
the pc turned off. Everything was working fine after that, but it
sounded very noisy like it was working overtime.
I tried turning my pc on this morning and it came up with windows
error recovery. So I tried launching start up repair(recommended) but it then powered off.
So then I tried it again but I tried starting windows as normal. And exactly the same thing happened
I finally got it into safe mode and done a system restore which seemed to have worked
but after around 7mins it powered off again. And now I will not boot past the the windows error recovery.
It just powers off. I can access the bios settings and boot menu. But after that it just powers off

If anyone has any ideas I would appriciate it

thanks in advance
dean

Hi Dean102 ... ..

run chkdsk /r...instructions are here...
you may have to run it from the command prompt using the recovery cd
if that doesn't fix the problem...run sfc /scannow

Hi thanks for the reply.
I have tried running chkdsk. And it got to stage2 and powered off. And now it will not go past the error recovery.

Thanks again in advance

did you try running chkdsk /r from the recovery cd...
if so and it failed...it could be one of dozens of things...
PSU issue...ram...mobo...video card or driver...thermal paste needs to be reapplied
