Hi All
I switched over to Mac just over a year ago when I got my first iMac. I never do anything heavy duty but recently I have got an annoying probem - it restarts with no reason.
When it restarts sometimes it ges to the desktop and others it just gets to the grey apple screen. I have tried a lot of things including:
but nothing has worked. In desperation I have tried an archive and install but it restarts before it has had time to finishThe vent is warm to the touch but i'm not sure if it's normal. I am wondering if it is just over heating but shouldn't that just shut down?
Thanks for any advice or poinetrs!

- Clearing cache
- resetting PRAM
- Verify disk and permissions
- Unplugging external devices
