EMac 700 freezes randomly

Hey,
I've got an eMac 700 and it freezes 4x to 100x times a day.
I've try everything pram reset reset in open firmware, but nothing helps.
As far as I can see it only happens when my eMac gets hot or when it try to start MacOSX, because when I let my eMac a half day runnig on a bleu screen what I get when I start with the option key pushed to select the operating system, it works my mouse is working well but when he starts and comes to the white screen with the Apple logo to start up it freezes or it freezzes 2 or 3 minutes later minutes later when i'm working on my Mac.
What can cause this problem?
Is it software is hardware?
Thnx a lot
Domien

I've got this eMac with macosx 10.2 jaguar and it runs 10.3 panther it doesnt start even the instalation disc from 10.2 jaguar otherwise I would run a little while jaguar.
Some other suggestions?

  • EMac freezes randomly, open window turns into broken up jibber

    My eMac freezes randomly, open window turns into broken up jibber (kinda looks like I put a photoshop filter on it or something). I can't force quit when it does this, no error message, I've repaired permissions. Any ideas?

    This doesn't help. but my first thought on seeing your picture was 'addressing bit failure in the video memory'. Unfortunately, as you already know, the video 'card' on the eMac is a chipset mounted to the logic board, and the only repair I'm aware of is replacement. An Apple Service Provider could give you an estimate but unless your eMac is still within the standard one-year hardware warrenty or you purchased the three-year ApplceCare extended warrenty, that's not an attractice cost-benefit tradeoff.
    On the chance that I'm wrong and it's some unusual system corruption, look again for the Hardware Test disc. It can be tricky figuring out where it is; on early eMacs it was always a separate CD, on recent eMacs it's a partition on the Restore DVD, and on models in between, it depends on whether the OS X Install disc was on a DVD or not. You might try booting from your OS X Install or Restore disc using Startup Manager to see if Hardware Test is on a partition.
    If nothing else, booting off the OS X Install disk (as if you were going to run Disk Utility > Repair Disk to check the drive) should further confirm if the problem is in the video hardware rather than in the hard drive's OS: if the broken display appears when booted from the OS X Install disc, it's pretty certainly the video hardware.

  • I've been using Firefox for quite a long time now and recently it has started giving some problems. It freezes randomly and doesn't respond to any clicks.

    I am a proud user of Firefox. I started experiencing the freezing problem since i updated to Firefox 18 and now I am facing the same problem with Firefox 19. Firefox does not respond to any of my clicks and then I have to close it using Task Manager. This is happening frequently and randomly. It does not freeze on a particular site or anything else. It just freezes randomly. Please do reply if anyone has a solution to this problem.

  • Fresh Install of Windows 8.1 on HP Pavilion a4313w freezes randomly

    I've done four fresh installs of Windows 8.1 on the HP Pavilion a4313 Desktop PC in our home and it always freezes randomly. Even in safe mode, it freezes. I've done hardware tests with BurnIn Test 8.0 and everything including the hardware memory is fine. Antivirus is installed and it's completely updated with Windows Updates. Once I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 8.1 and it still froze. I performed a fresh install, because it would hang sometimes with Windows 7.
    Anyways, I am more then ready and willing to post more information or test results upon request. Anyone have suggestions?

    Hello @buddhapunk36,
    I understand that your computer running Windows 8.1 keeps freezing and you have run the hardware tests and it comes back okay. I would suggest that you try installing the original Windows 7 that came with your computer and see if the freezing continues. If it does continue the the issue appears to be a physical issue. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html.
    If the issue does not continue then your system may not be compatible with Windows 8.1.
    I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • Macbook Pro (mid 2007) freezes randomly

    Hi all,
    Last week my Macbook pro (2007) started to freeze randomly. 2-3 years ago I added an SSD (64 gb crucial M4) and replaced the dvd drive for an 500 gb HDD. The configuration worked perfectly until last week. My macbook sometimes works for a couple hours and sometimes it freezes just after 30 minutes from startup. Sometimes during an freeze I can use the programs that were open. For example when reading an PDF I can scroll 1-2 pages down/up. When I scroll more than 1-2 pages Preview freezes as well.
    I have done the following things to exclude some frequent problems.
    Set my fan speed to 6000 rpm to exclude an heat problem. The system freezes also with 'normal' temperatures.
    Checked my SDD & HDD on file consistency and repaired the disks with disk utility (booted from Mac Os X install cd). Disk utility reports that the disks are okay. I also checked with Techtool pro on bad blocks and smart status. All seems to be all right.
    Checked my RAM with tech tool
    Reset NVRAM
    Checked console for error messages. There are no messages at all between a couple of minutes before a freeze and a forced turn off/on.
    I haven't installed new software recently.
    Last time when my macbook froze, I had an terminal window open. In this window I could execute some commands, only the most basic. Top, sudo, shutdown etc. didn't work. I could navigate to all folders on both SDD & HDD. But I couldn't see any files, only folders. That is strange right?   
    I think the next step is to change the hard drives for an other (new) one, to exclude hard drive problems. But before I open my Macbook I was wondering if anyone has other ideas to solve this problem. 
    Thanks for any help.

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "I/O error" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application. Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the window will be empty. If you get output like this:
    kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
    the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem.

  • X freezes randomly, screen turning black or flickering

    Hey everyone,
    I'm having this annoying issue where X freezes randomly, I can't tell exactly when it happens. But when it happens, the following occurs:
    - Screen is frozen, sometimes turns black, sometimes turns black and reappears, but still frozen.
    - Cursor and sound (e.g. music) still works
    - When switching to a new tty (CTRL-ALT-F6), I can log in and restart gdm using
    sudo systemctl restart gdm
    - When I'm in the other tty and trying to switch back to the graphical view, I get stuck completely, not even switching consoles works now.Reset is the only option from there
    - Blindly restarting gnome-shell doesn't work
    I somehow have the feeling, it happens more often when I physically move my laptop, but thats just a gut feeling. It also happens often when my screen is locked and I try to log back in.
    I found this bug report, but its quite old and that doesn't help me: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14594
    Any help would be very appreciated, its really annoying to lose my work so often.

  • System freezes randomly in Mac OS X Leopard

    I have a problem with my system which freezing randomly. When it freezes, I can still move the mouse pointer around, but I can’t move or open any object on the screen.
    It doesn’t seem to be connected to a particular program since it might occur in various programs. I checked the hardware and also catalogue structures, authentication and so forth with disc warrior. Another odd thing is that I can’t seem to beable to boot from the installation DVD. I’ve looked in the various logs (for example the crash logs), but there doesn’t seem to be any notation of the freezes on any of the logs. Another thing is that I sometime have trouble starting the computer, pushing the on-button doesn’t result in anything. Is there anything else I might try before reinstalling the system?

  • Re: Tecra S10 and S11 freeze randomly

    We have several Tecra S10's and S11's. They freeze randomly during the day. Some even twice within half an hour, others spread it out through the day.
    The Tecra's are all Windows 7. Some have 64 bit, others a 32 bit installation. After the Windows 7 installation we removed additional software we don't need, like McAfee, Toshiba goodies (Assist, Tempro, etc), Ebay, etc. After that we activatie Office 2007 and we Microsoft-update the the laptops. So far so good.
    However, after a week or two just simply working in Word causes the Tecra to freeze. Even ctrl+alt+del is not working. The Tecra has to be forced to shut off by holding the power button down.
    Does anybody recognize these 'frozen moments'. It's very anoying.

    > All notebooks are in an Active Directory domain Windows 2008.
    Thats the reason why I asked if notebooks are connected to some company LAN.
    I saw somewhere on this forum that similar issues were noticed in the same situation. Notebook was somehow blocked when was part of domain.
    Probably some data exchange between notebook and server was responsible for this blocking and freezing issue.
    I really don't know what to say. If you have several notebooks with the same problem I recommend you to contact nearest authorized Toshiba service provider and ask for help. You know they have contact with Toshiba people and if there is something serious they can help you with this.
    I really don't believe some long discussion here will help you much.
    If your local administrator cannot find out what the problem can be than you need professional help.
    Do you agree with me?

  • After recent updates, Gnome freezes randomly. Video problem?

    I've been having some problems lately that I didn't have before recent updates.
    My desktop will freeze randomly and my only option is to switch to a VT and enter multi-user mode with `systemctl isolate multi-user.service`. X doesn't crash though. My Gnome Desktop just freezes entirely, but the mouse pointer continues to move around just fine. When I enter multi-user mode, Xorg.0.log says that the server exited successfully.
    Below are error messages in dmesg, systemd journal, and Xorg.0.log.

    Any idea what might be causing these freezes or what info I can further provide?
    EDIT: Processes in X are apparently not crashing, only the video output is. For example, if I'm running applications with sound, I continue hearing sound though the graphics are completely frozen. Is there a way to refresh the graphics or video card somehow?

    I think i got my problem, but i don't know how to solve it: after much troubles i found out that whenever i have an SMB connection with a machine that then goes down/disconnect from network without me unmounting the share BEFORE it, then BOOM, everything freeze.
    I noticed this only because i was sharing a directory with my brother and noticed i had the froze as soon as he got disconnected from the network: so i asked him to power on that machine and.. magic! My machine unfroze instantly!
    But now, how to fix that?! Is it due to my /etc/fstab? Does this really matter with nemo/nautilus mounted shares? This, however, depicts the machine in question (the one that, disconnecting from the network, caused my own to freeze)

    At last I found out what's my problem, hopefully your situation is similar so that we can work out a solution on this one.
    THANKS! I'm quite sure this is the reason gnome shell freezes for me as well. I was mounting my box.com cloud with this entry in /etc/fstab:
    # box.com account
    https://www.box.com/dav /home/abtz/Box davfs rw,user,noauto 0 0
    If anyone has an idea for how to fix this, I'm all ears. For now, I'll just remove the entry from /etc/fstab.
    I'm running vanilla Gnome, with only the Frippery shutdown menu and battery remaining extensions installed.

  • Screen spanning emac 700 MHz

    Hello all,
    I presume this is a quite stupid question, but here goes; is it possible to do screen spanning with a 700 MHz eMac? I've got a Iiyama Vision Mater Pro 455 here - and I'd like to span the screen instead of mirror it completely. That way I can edit much more easily with FCP.
    Is there any way to do this through software? (I tried Screen Spanning Doctor, but they've excluded the 700 MHz) Or do I need to upgrade the hardware - if so, what hardware?
    Thanks a bunch everybody!
    eMac 700 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    it doesn't work with a 700 MHz.
    So I guess if it isn't possible I need to upgrade the hardware. Is this possible?
    Sorry, I missed that you'd already tried it; apologies. But if Screen Spanning Doctor doesn't work, you may be out of luck. It's not possible to upgrade the video chip in your eMac, and I don't think a later-model eMac logic board would fit in your eMac's case, though I can't say for sure. Even if it is possible, it's probably not going to be cost-effective. Logic boards for 1GHz eMacs are going for over $300.00 US on the sites I've found that carry them, and you could probably buy an entire 1Ghz eMac for not much more, particularly if you sell yours and apply the proceed toward the purchase of the later-model unit.

  • Upgrading Emac 700

    Hi guys i wanted to upgrade my Emac 700 motherboard, processor etc. Can it be done and where? I live in the UK. Thanks. Lee

    The main logic board (including the processor) cannot be upgraded. The hard drive, RAM, and certain other things can, but it's not easy, nor cheap, nor even fun.
    I'd strongly urge you to consdier a newer Mac. A refurbished Mac Mini is about the cheapest route, if budget is an issue.

  • EMac 700 fan CFM?

    I'm planning on replacing the case fan in my eMac 700.
    I've searched this forum and googled everywhere for information on how much air the stock fan pushes, what its CFM is.
    Does anyone know and if so, would you tell me, please?
    Many thanks.

    Actually, because it has a relatively low 2800 rpm rotational speed for a unit its size, it only pushes 2.2 cubic feet per minute.
    But matching it is impossible. While the basic fan is an NMB Technologies 4710KL-04W unit, it is housed in a custom shroud. The fan blades and motor are integrated into this housing, and cannot be removed without destroying it. The entire fan and shroud assembly, with gaskets, is easily removable from the remainder of the AC inlet and filter frame.
    This is not an off-the-shelf item, and the fan and AC inlet assembly for the nVidia graphics driven eMac product line is no longer available from Apple. When it was, users would likely have paid about $ 59.00 for it. Expensive for a fan alone, but in line with the cost of similar assemblies. The later 922-5866 assembly for ATI graphics driven models, which is reasonably similar but not interchangeable, is still available.
    If you are interested in a drop in replacement for your original fan alone, write to me at the address listed in my Public Profile.

  • HP Elite 7100 freezes randomly

    Mostly brand new (about 3 months old) HP Elite 7100 mT (i5 750, 4GB RAM, ATI 5450) freezes randomly.
    Tried reinstalling OS with clean Windows and fresh drivers of HP website and/or INTEL/AMD accordingly, still happens.
    When it freezes, the windows log doesn't write anything, only that the subsequent boot was unplanned (meaning it's not kernel level, but hardware level).
    I used diagnostic software to stress-test the computer but temperatures remain within normal parameters and stress-testing it does not make it freeze - it is apparently completely random (about once a day or two).
    Anything I should try or do before I start the agonizing process of trying to explain the local HP support what's wrong so that they can take the computer to the lab and try to reproduce it to no avail?

    T-G, EVGA is a good manufacturer.  However, the card is 9" in length.  This may present some space problems.  As for temp problems, I suggest seeing if nVidia makes software to allow you to control the fan speed.  My XFX card is ATI.  ATI has software (Catalyst Control Center) to allow me to adjust the fan speed and overclock the card if I desire.

  • My emac keeps freezing!!! any help please

    Hello, my emac keeps freezing. I tried to use the first aid and got this message.
    "Repair attempted on two volumes,
    1 HFS volume repaired
    1 volume could not be repaired"
    I can't reistall the Os because my installation disk is scratched.
    any help please

    You should check to see if your capacitors are bad. My eMac started having this exact same problem about a month ago and I finally just took it apart the other day and looked at it and there's two or three bad capacitors (bulging, one slightly leaking brown), so I'm going to have my much-more-experienced-with-soldering dad try to replace them with ones we ordered. Hopefully they work!
    I'd check and see if this is the problem, then if it is, you will need to either replace the bad capacitors yourself, get someone experienced to do it, or buy a new board, which may cost far more than the eMac would be worth if it was working right anyway.
    Of course, you can just scrap it and keep the hard drive and DVD drive and RAM. eMacs are getting kinda old nowadays. I went from an eMac 1.25 GHz to a Mac mini 2.0 GHz and it is sooooooooo much better. No more Flash headaches (or at least less of them), and everything runs so much smoother.
    Best of luck.
