    emachine e725 freezes randomly

    An emachine e725 less than 1year freezes randomly, mostly when it has booted to desktop, about lest than five minutes later.

    its can be started at safe mode and will work well, but not in normal mode. sometimes, it freezes too even in safe mode.

    The emachine specs

    1.0G Ram
    2.0Ghz Processor
    160GB Hard drive

    when i try to boot from cd, it doesn't recognize the cd. they appear blank.

    when could be cause this? overheat?

    That sounds more like a malware problem than a hardware problem.

    Whoever has time to help you will need to know what OS you are using, what anti-virus and anti-malware you have installed, and probably your browser & version.

            Yes, find out what the motherboard is and inspect the caps.

                    Well, a computer that locks up could be most anything. I'd say a good first step, or what I would do in this case, would be to start taking it apart and looking for problems. Check for bad caps, fans not turning or barely turning, dust clogged heatsinks, etc.
                    A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

                          The only reason I made the comment about Emachines is because I have seen problems that I wouldnt beleive I would see - only on emachines. The problem that you have could be anywhere from:

                          Reason # 1. cold solder joints on perriferal slots
                          to
                          Reason # 94. Bad hard drive with errors.
                          to
                          Reason # 122. System was built with barely enough "anything" to run.
                          All other reasons in between apply as well.

                          Sorry if I seemed to put down emachines but there's a reason why they are the cheapest ones to buy. Good luck finding what's wrong. If you do, consider yourself lucky.

                            My [vague] point was emachines mobos come from at least half a dozen manufacturers.
                            Some are complete crap but others aren't so bad.

                              Your 1 year old Acer/eMachine only has 1GB RAM.
                              Win7 is going to run like shit with 1GB RAM.
                              -
                              MS says minimum RAM for Win7 32-bit is 1GB and 2GB for 64-bit.
                              What MS says for minimum is always about 1/2 what is needed for a smooth running system.
                              Been like that since Win95 if not before.

                                That is how all modern prebuilt computers that are reasonably affordable are designed. Computers with 32-bit Windows 7 have 1GB of RAM, and computers with 64-bit Windows have 2GB of RAM. If you want more RAM, you have to pay a ton of money for a computer that is basically a $300 computer with a multi-terabyte hard drive. You could buy a $300 computer and upgrade the RAM and get the same performance as a $600 "media center" computer.

                                  Yeah, they used to sell W98 machines new with 16Mb RAM too.
                                  "reasonably affordable" = cheap, bottom line, just enough to run.
                                  It isn't going to run Win7 smoothly once apps are installed that actually use RAM.

                                  Either get more RAM or get XP.

                                    Or you could build the damn thing yourself and get rid of all the "it won't run this it won't run that i can't upgrade it" shit. Win7 x64 runs perfectly fine on 2GB btw.
