This is an emachine T2865  , when I turn on the machine the cpu fan runs for about 10secs and then it shuts down along with the power supply fan. The switch light is on but nothing works, I can't open any of the cd drives. It doesn't gives me any kind of beeps or screen messages  .It just stands there like an expensive paper weight. Here are the specifications directly from emachines;
# Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition
# AMD Athlon™ XP 2800+ Processor (2.083 GHz) with QuantiSpeed™ architecture
# NVIDIA® nForce™2
# 512 MB DDR (PC 2700)
# 160 GB HDD 1
# DVD±RW Drive (Write Max: 4x DVD±R, 2.4x DVD+RW, 2x DVD-RW, 16x CD-R and 10x CD-RW disks, Reads 12x Max. DVD-ROM disks, Reads 40x Max. CD-ROM disks); 48x Max. CD-ROM Drive; 3.5" 1.44MB FDD; 8-in-1 Media Reader(USB 2.0, Secure Digital (SD), Smart Media, Compact Flash, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Micro Drive, Multimedia Card)
# NVIDIA® GeForce4™ MX graphics (1 AGP 8x slot available)

well, I had a similar problem once. It was a loose connection with the power supply and the hard drive. The computer just stopped working after about 10 minutes, but not 10 seconds...

Tahts a possibilty. A Power Supply could have a loose connection. Look at it if you cant see anything look for something else. If worst comes to worst buy a new power supply and see if that works.

| I can't get any boot screen and I have checked all the power connections. I have disconnected and reconnected almost everything. But still only 10 seconds in the fans. |

| I'm checking on the warranty. I'm going to change the power supply as soon as I get one with the same output. |
