Can you provide the bios version? <br />
<br />
Each bios usually has a different set of &quot;beep codes&quot; - but i would guess that oneononecomp is right,, bad memory.

Each bios usually has a different set of "beep codes" - but i would guess that oneononecomp is right,, bad memory.

Again like oneononecomp said, you will need your BIOS version to really dig into this. &nbsp;But here is a universal beep code chart;<br />

If it finally boots up ok, then I think its a loose/bad connection inside. If you comfortable opening the unit, remove and re insert the memory sticks and test, then any PCI Cards and test. Not sure if &nbsp;you'd be confident enough to remove and re insert the CPU but that would be next. Re inserting the ram fixes 90% of these issues. <br />

I presume you haven't added any new hardware to the machine?

I removed and reseeded the memory cards. &nbsp;No problems since. &nbsp;<br />

I have a emachine t5048. Sometimes when I boot I get 3 beeps and nothing loads on the video display. After restarting several times it finally boots. Any help on what it could be.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
