Thanks Ztcoracat; well after some struggle,since i never give up on anything,either brake it or fix it,and this desktop is pretty snappy for its age, i was able to get this desktop E Machines with Amd Athlon IIx2 250U 1.5GHZ 4 GB Ram running fine with Xubuntu 18.04 xfce;
what i did was; i had in my scrap an ATI RADION 6450 external Video card,a matter fact i thought it was bad since i had it installed on my Lenovo 73, I5 sandy-bridge Mother board desktop, which at some point started to run cpu fan with high speed noise and did not boot at all, so i removed it and used the integrated hd video card and desktop booted perfectly.

So returning to E Machines with Amd Athlon IIx2 250U 1.5GHZ 4 GB Ram running fine with Xubuntu 18.04 xfce; that did not run ok with the integrated Nvidea card due to no support for 304 drivers from Nvidea and the alternated Nvidea drivers caused it to freeze and scramble screen, .So now with ATI RADION 6450 external Video card and with Chromium web browser it's working like a champion,,thank you all for trying to help, appreciate.
