Try starting it in the Safe Mode: Right after the first text appears on the screen, start tapping either F5 or F8 to access the startup menu. It won't have much of a selection; typically safe mode, normal and prompt only. Choose safe mode.
Since you did not give the model number, I don't know if you have Big Fix on your machine or not, most eMachines do. To find it, open the Start Menu, All programs, then look for the name. If there, choose it and look at whatever error logs it has to show you.
If you don't find anything apparent there, click on Start, then All Programs, then Accessories. Look down the list and locate System Tools, then click on System Restore.
Select 'Restore my computer to an earlier time' and then 'Next.' You will be presented with a calendar and the dates in bold will be valid restore points. If you have System Restore tracking disabled (it is enabled by default), well, then consider it a lesson. This is the preferred method of restoration since it only refreshes system files and leaves your personal files untouched. 
You may have to use recovery discs or download the needed installation routines from the eMachines website. Be advised though, if you do a full reinstallation, any work you have not backed up will be gone.
If you don't have any protection against an invasion by malware, at least download and install MicroSoft Defender.  It's free and can give you a fairly decent layer of protection against some common junk.

My friend have Gateway DX4800-05e computer. We wanted to upgrade CPU which was 2.5GHz (E5200) We bought same socket, same family cpu 3.2GHz. Now stupid Vista freezes as soon as you see desktop and you...

Well for one thing, just because it is the same family cpu doesn't mean it is compatible. Check the drivers for the processor and make sure you delete the one from your old cpu. The faster the cpu also drains more power from your power supply. I doubt its the problem but still could be possible. My best bet is to find the drivers for vista online, for the correct cpu. If problem still persists, try putting your old cpu back in and see if it still freezes.

As soon as i turn on my gps it starts to boot up

I can help you reset and fix your Garmin Nuvi 265W.

Getting stuck on the flashing Garmin logo, or a message about not finding any maps, or freezing and rebooting, are indications that the firmware / system software inside your GPS has been corrupted.

There are three steps to take to get your Nuvi 265W running like new:

  1. Back up your Favorites.
  2. Perform a Hard Reset.
  3. Download and then run Garmin WebUpdater to replace its firmware / system software.

I hope that helps.
