Right my eMac keeps freezing at any given moment, but USUALLY when there a few applications running at the one time. If I backed up all my files etc and restored the drive will this fix the problem? or if i reformatted it and reinstalled osx tiger? would any of this help?

cheers

Do some maintainance routines first Lewis.
Fix permissions, reset Pram and etc etc. Probably the best place to start is ...
Apple - Support - eMac

similar issue? Not so much help with answer though me thinks.
