Kim, it might be helpful to provide a little more info on what
model eMac you have, and what exactly the symptoms are. Does the
screen (icons, windows, cursor) lock up, does it come up with a
dimmed warning screen that says "you need to restart your computer"
in 5 different languages, does it simply power down, etc. The
symptoms that you're experiencing are vital for the rest of us on
the list to provide an accurate diagnosis of your problem.
To find the specifications of your computer, click on the Apple
menu, and select About this Mac, and note the OSX version number,
the Processor speed, and RAM.
The 1.25Ghz G4 eMacs are known to have problems with the capacitors
on the motherboard; If (and I stress IF!) this is the problem, you
can either replace the capacitors (which requires a somewhat
complete knowledge of soldering techniques) or just replace the
motherboard.
