hello- my used eMac 1.42 ghz with 2gb ram, tiger 10.4.11 began to freeze a few months ago so I cleared the hard drive and reinstalled = worked ok for a while. Now, it is regularly freezing and even locking up when it has been running for a while - when it heats up. Until it cools off a while, on restart or after shutdown, it will hang at the grey screen or display a flashing folder with an alternating finder icon and a question mark - I assume it can't find the OS. After rebooting, I got the report function with this info - 2 occurences:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00040180): zalloc: "kalloc.64" (8123392 elements) retry fail 3

I missed the warning about bad caps and apple never contacted me. The reseller never mentioned the problem - don't ask - don't tell (if the customer don't ask, don't tell them about it.) Any thoughts about what might be causing these problems and possible solutions? Thanks.
