Unhappy Acting strangely

My eMac (G4) is acting more and more strangely lately. While working in iPhoto recently it hanged twice (couldn't do anything for a long time). In both cases, I just rebooted.
Then, when changing from user to user, it would get stuck on a blue screen (Apple's BSOD? - joke). Again, nothing would happen for a long time, so I rebooted.
I ran disk check with respect to permissions and on the disk itself, everything checked out (although some permissions were changed) and I ran Janitor on it just to make sure things were more or less "clean". But these problems have persisted.
What could be causing this?
BTW, I haven't installed any new programs and keep the OS (Tiger) up to date.

I would boot from an OS CD and run Disk Utility from there to check the hard-drive itself for errors (which you can't do if you boot from the hard-drive) and rerun the permissions check also.
