I would like to know how she came to that conclusion. If you posted the exact motherboard make and model or the eMachine model number and the symptoms, we could theorize more.

ill go try and find out all the exact details now but it keeps restarting itself and it doesnt seem to be a software problem since her computer has been wiped since it started happening. the warmer it seems to get the more it cuts out aswell

make sure the fans are:

1)physically present in the PC
2)connected properly

also make sure there are enough fans.

ok iv tried to find out as much as i can and she has a emachines T1090 with a 20 gig hard drive. not sure about ram. it doesnt seem to be the fans as she got more fans lately and it didnt make a difference.
