This could mean many things. It could mean that there is a corrupted
install of OS X. But most likely, especially with the emacs, it it
probably leaking capacitors. This problem is when the capacitors on
the eMac logic board start leaking and the machine freezes. To test
for this problem, open up the ram door under the machine, and, with a
flashlight if you need it, look for any goo inside. If you see that or
you see broken capacitors, then you most likely have this problem.
Unfortunately, this is not an easy fix. Replacing the logic board,
which is the only fix, costs hundreds of dollars, more then the eMac
is worth. This is a very common problem with the eMacs. Let us know if
this is truly the problem, and tell us you're results. Hopefully it
doesn't have this problem. Good luck :)
