I have a eMachine T6410 about 2 months ago all of the sudden my monitor would go blank like it was in sleep mode or some thing and my eMachine power light would blink on and off. It had never done this before but when I try to move the mouse to wake it back up it does nothing and when I try to hold down the power button to shut power down and reboot the light continues to flash. The only way to shut it down is to turn off or unplug the power supply and it still after being unplugged continues to blink for at least a good 20 second after being uplugged which seems really bizarre to me. I don't know what to do it could go a full day with out doing it or it could happen several times a day like it did yesterday. When I do shut it down by unplugging it and when I reboot it it cause the desktop background to go white and it has an error message until I physically go back in to the control panel and select another background. However, it has not affect the backround the last couple of days. Its frustrating because I have a 10 yr old and a 4 yr old that both like to get on here and play games. I don't know if some how he has gone some where and changed a setting or if my computer needs to be repaired. Please help!!! My computer is my life line!

I had the same problem with my old e-machine. I contacted them and because the warranty was finished they wouldn't fix it for free I talked it through with a tecnician and he said the the computer was dead. DON'T buy another e-machine, it really sucks!

Most likely your PSU is failing. See if you can get a spare to test it out.

I had a PSU fail once, but in my case it just constantly restarted the computer.

It could be the PSU. When it happned to me they said i should replace my motherboard. I ended up frying the processor but E-Machines have a habit of putting a lot of cheap dodgy parts from China that i haven't ever heard oif.
