You should check this if you are comfortable working inside the computer. Just use good static precautions:
Check the connections to the hard drive and make sure they are connected properly. Also check the other end of both cables to be sure they are connected securely to the motherboard. Then test the start again.
If that does not work then disconnect the connections to the CD/DVD drive and test the startup.
And just to be sure: you do not have anything plugged into the computer's ports while you are doing this, right. No USB devices - printers, webcams, thumb drives - nothing. And are your keyboard and mouse wired or wireless?
And your Emachines PC should have a model number right on the front, like T3560 or something. What model number is yours?
