I work in a computer repair shop (member of the OEM network) and lost my confidence in eMachines about half a year into the job. I have encountered this problem more than I care to account for and even a "bullying customer" or "I happen to work as part of the OEM network" seems to generally fail. No doubt it has worked at times, but easiest way to avoid this is to put a little bit of money into the computer, and (as a result) skip eMachines. They seem to use cheap parts and I think their tech-support is lacking...
