Some ideas:
* Run Applications/Utilities/Console.App and look for any problems or
repeated messages in console.log or system.log.
* Run memtest from http://memtestosx.org/ from single user mode overnight
* Create a new 'Clean' user and see if the problem persists for that
user. If not then it probably means it's something you've installed
for your 'unclean' user that's causing the problem.
* Disconnect any peripherals other than Apple mouse and keyboard and
see if the problem persists.
* Check the disk with DiskWarrior http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
* Upgrade the OS to Tiger (you can probably find cheaper copies these
days or wait until Leopard's out :)
Have fun,
Shay

Our OS 10.3.9/512/1.25GHz home eMac is freezing on a regular basis.
I have used Tech Tools Pro, plus fsck (4 times, and states the
system is normal) but to no avail. It tends to freeze when a window
is moved, or sometimes when Mail is opened. Often dragging an image
to a folder will to it as well. The machine is about 3 years old.
When it freezes the cursor can still move but everything else is
locked. I have looked in Prefs an Library for anything out of the
ordinary, but it all looks okay.
Any thoughts at all on why this may be happening?
Thanks
