We tried to hook up a brand new Emachines computer. First thing we did was open it up and take the ram out and put it back in (It went back in the exact same slot and i doubt seriously that this contributed to the problem). Next thing I did was I took a videocard from his old computer and put it in the new Emachines (this is probley where the problem came from, although Im not sure how). It was some sort of radeon card, Im not sure because he threw the box away. There was no videocard previously installed, it was one of the integrated things. Next we hooked the computer up (every cord was connected, Ive hooked computers up plenty of times, im sure they were all right). Everything had power and was looking good, and we turned it on. The computer started making beeping noises and the moniter said "Check PC and conections, Moniter is working properly". We hooked up another moniter to the Emachines to see if the cord was messed up, but the computer beeped and the moniter didnt work again. We then took the video card out that we had stuck in previously, and tried running the moniter on the origional moniter hook-up slot thing. The computer beeped, we swore, and then we just gave up. Any help would be appreciated, and even if you read this massive post, thanks. I would like to get his comp up and running before I leave tomorrow, If I dont, oh well, but it would be nice if I did. Thanks in advance..
