I have an emac 1.25ghz, with the 9200, and every time I boot into Mac OS X 10.4, it crashes. I have replaced the RAM, the HDD, and the heatsink(thought the proc was overheating) but I came to the conclusion that it only crashes(as in pointer won't move and keyboard has no effect) when I boot into normal mode, but it works fine and fast in safe boot mode... Anyone know what might be the problem with it?? Thank you in advance...
The computer crashes...

Give this a read...could be what you're experiencing:
1.25 Ghz eMacs Plagued By Capacitor Problems | Cult Of Mac
If your emac's capacitor's are bulging...they would need to be replaced.

As much as it hurts me to say it, Pigoo3 was right. It was a faulty capacitor, so I will attempt to fix it, but in the meantime, I will be working on my other macs to try and get them sold... I'm just sad because this is the only 1.25 I have, all the others are 1Ghz, which won't bring in as much money. Thanks for your help, guys.

I would have bet Pigoo was correct as it sounded so much like that Capacitor issue.
Why are you selling off all your Macs? Just curious.
