Try removing all expansion CCAs (circuit card assemblies) except video. Disconnect optical and HDD drives. Also, disconnect all external connections to the tower leaving only video, mouse, keyboard connections and the power cord. I don't think your symptoms will change but this is a basic "eliminate variables" step.
eMachines and their motherboards are highly proprietary. You'll need to check their web site/support for info. on how to reset the BIOS. You could remove the CMOS battery (looks like a watch battery) from the motherboard for a while then put it back. But this may not work as an added step (e.g. shorting two contacts together) may be needed to complete the reset.
You are most welcome. Keep us apprised. We're glad to help.
