EMachine ET1161, Glitch-Freeze

[BioDied]

I have an eMachine ET1161-07, the Mobo is a MCP61PM-GM. Never had any problems with it until now, on Boot-up it will Glitch-Freeze on the eMachine logo. The screen says to ether press F2 or F10, nether are functional. I read though different issues from this board with simular situations but nothing seem to fix the problem. Would it be a Bios issue?

 

[BioDied]

Could I provide any other information that might help you help me?

Does it eventually load into windows?

 

[BioDied]

No, that is are far as it can go. Unless I am mashing F8 as soon as I hit the power button, but that just turns into a blue and white glitched mess.

Remove 2 of your 3 RAM chips. If you've installed any add on cards, remove them.
Try booting.

Was there something that happened right before this (acting funny, noises, storm..etc)?

 

[BioDied]

Awesome!!! It booted! Are the RAM cards dead now? or should I be ok putting them back in?

I put them back in and everything still works great!

Good deal. If it happens again, use process of elimination to find out which chip is causing the problem.
