Got home screensaver was on my Fedora 11_64 and the keyboard lights were flashing
it was locked up
power cycled the pc with the big Blue Power Button on front
the case, not the speakers, beeps three long beeps, then nothing
no e-machine splash screen or nothing
put install disk in to try recovery
same thing just beeps

Hardware fault. Check your motherboard manual for BIOS error codes.

Google 'post error codes'. 3 Long beeps seems to indicate a keyboard problem. Unplugged?

Thank ya'll
I think I got it
did the online chat with the emachine tech
he said it was memory "as in not installed properly"
and i have had trouble with this Kings*** memory before when i first got the box last year
first 2gig one stick had errors, sent replacement, which also had errors
run around from tech dudes about returns

i guess they just havent had that much experience with returns, being and industry leader for so long

sorry for my rant
:coughs:crappy service:coughs:

less than 30 bucks will replace and upgrade and probably end those screen froze rants bout Fedora 10 & 11 sucking and stuff
