DO NOT MESS AROUND. RETURN IT.\n\nYou run the risk of giving someone a getout if you 'fix' the problem by bodges. Accept you will have to reinstall stuff on the replacement and take advantage of the warranty.\n\nAnd... if the person at the other end of the phone is messing you around with stupid suggestions, INSIST you speak to their Line Manager, thus accelerating your complaint to Tosh paid staff rather than some idiot in a call centre.\n\nGood luck, stay calm, don't accept it. Quite a useful machine by the way!

Very cute getting other people to do your IT support for free :D\nGuess I am the 1st sucker to come along :&#92;\nIn theory this is a question you should be asking emachines support - this is part of the price you payed for buying a branded machine.  You could have got better components for the same money if you had bought components & pieced them together yourself & then relied on YahAns. for tech. support XD\n\nI searched for your model on the site & it says that your gfx is indeed built-in, 'on board' or 'integrated' as this is often called, since the chips are soldered onto, & part of the mainboard construction.\n\nGraphics chip used:\nIntel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (GMA900)\nUp to 224MB DDR shared video memory\n\nHere is the rest of this machine's *default* configuration:\n\nCPU: Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 516 (64-bit with Intel® EM64T) (1MB L2 cache, 2.93GHz, 533MHz FSB)\n\nOp. Sys.: Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition (SP2)\n\nChipset: Intel® 915GV\n\nMemory: 512MB DDR SDRAM (2 × 256MB), 400MHz Dual Channel\nExpandable to 4GB\n\nHard Drive: 200GB Serial ATA (7200rpm, 8MB cache)\n\nOptical Drive: 16x DVD±RW multiformat double layer drive\n\nVideo: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (GMA900)\nUp to 224MB DDR shared video memory\n\nSound: Intel® High Definition 6-Channel (5.1) Audio\n\nNetwork: Intel® PRO 10/100Mbps integrated Ethernet LAN\n\nModem: 56K ITU V.92-ready Fax/Modem\n\nPeripherals: Standard Multifunction Keyboard, 2-Button Wheel Mouse, Amplified Stereo Speakers\n\nPorts/Other: 7 USB 2.0 (2 in front, 4 in back, 1 in Media Reader), 1 IEEE 1394, 1 VGA external connector, 1 serial, 1 parallel, 2 PS/2, 5 audio ports (2 in front, 3 in back)\n\nDimensions: 14.25"H x 7.25"W x 16.00"D\n\n(You don't clarify as to whether you have done any upgrades or payed to have some added yourself).\n\nSadly the one component we are interested in is not mentioned at all - the mainboard.\nYou have to ensure that you disable the onboard graphics chips (the Intel GMA900 chip in your case) if you can & do purchase a graphics card that is CORRECT for the slot your motherboard has.  I would imagine it has the more recently introduced PCI-Express graphics connector or at the very least one of the older style AGP connectors.  The mainboard could come with both, though this is perhaps less likely.\nEither way a card designed to interface via AGP is physically different to a card connecting via PCI-Express (commonly abbreviated to PCI-E).\n\nI will try & get the spec on the mainboard used by your machine (though emachines may change this depending on what deals they can strike with their supplier over what number of units - they are primarily trying to end up with as large a profit as possible of course), so it could be something that can only be ascertained with diagnostic software.\nYou could find out exactly what motherboard it is by running some official discovery/diagnostic software such as the free edition of 'everest' which used to be known as Aida32 before.\nWhats particularly good about it is that it does not need to be installed the exe unpacks the archive to a directory & you just run it from there.\n\nDownload it here.\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html\n\nThen run the mainboard/motherboard (different terms for the same thing) info section & come back here with the complete text for the boards model.\n\nYou can right click the text & then paste it in Yahoo Answers.\n\nThe icon you want to select is in the left pane of Everest & is labelled "Motherboard".  On my machine this gives:\n\nField:\nMotherboard ID\n\nValue:\n08/19/2003  nVidia-nForce A7N8X2.0C-00\n\nSo my motherboard(mainboard same thing)'s serial is A7N8X (Revision or version)2.0C.\nWhen I look that up online I can see the full specification for all the features of the board.\n\nWith yours we will then be able to look it up on the board manufacturers website & arrive on precisely

Make sure you have nothing else running in the background. If you don't have a high end laptop,  games that are heavy on graphics will run slow and/or freeze.

Try cleaning it with a bottle of pressurized air before you go and buy one.  Also scan your computer for spyware, adware, viruses, and trojans, to make sure that your CPU is not being overloaded by malicious software.

It may get overheated or some hardware is broken (it can be a HDD,RAM,Video card etc., I think the HDD has a problem). Try getting a hardware diagnostic tool.

I'd recommend you attach a AGP card of arounfd 256MB, something like NVidia

Try asking your computer supplier or your vid card supplier

Get more memory or a better graphics card.

Sounds like you do have too many applications, like I did. Adding more RAM will fix the problem.  It cost me $60.00, and it was worth it; isn't that aggravating!\n\nHope this helps.
