eMachines Desktop: Should I upgrade my eMachines el1300g-02w to windows 10 and more ram?

Wed, 07 May 2025 18:30:26 -0700

Hello,

I have a emachines el1300g-02w which runs horribly slow, maybe I should have asked this question before I took action but I gave the pc to someone yesterday to upgrade it to windows 10 and add more ram so that it can run faster especially with MMO games. The guy then told me that there was no slot to put the GPU in nor a PCI slot, but he can still upgrade and clean the system. Did I make a good decision?

eMachines Desktop: Computer shuts off after a while of usage

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 13:33:48 -0700

My computer will shut off after a little while of usage. And i noticed that it only does it when i am on the computer and in the process of opening a file or loading a website, the usual activities one would use a computer in the first place! I just vaccumed out the inside of any dust bunnies, and left the panel open to get more air, and once again it did it again while i was opening a web site. Now i think it maybe the power supply. Any other suggestions?

eMachines ET1831-05: My eMachine Computer won’t turn on

Sun, 31 Jan 2021 23:05:29 -0700

I have the same problem. My Emachine Computer won’t turn on. So I disconnected the power cord from the power supply and the hard drive disconnected also. I held the power button for 60 seconds ….. I reconnected the power cord to the power supply …. the fan on the power supply works. When I reconnect the cord to the hard drive, the fan on the power supply stops running. Is this normal? When I push the power button, nothing happens. I then replaced the motherboard battery, repeated the above procedure …. when I reconnected the power cord, the fan on the power supply runs and I get a beeping sound. again, I plug the cable in the hard drive … the fan stops. I push the power button ON, and nothing happens. What next?
