Hey guys, so this is my first post on the forum -- apologies if the format is incorrect.
20" Aluminum iMac, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB memory (came with 2GB and I upgraded it myself)
Running Snow Leopard
Sometimes when I am exiting out of a program (iChat, Firefox, Adium, Microsoft Word)... my screen turns black (can see that it is still illuminated, the screen is still obviously on).
There is no way for me to get my screen back, and if I press the power button on the back of the computer it puts it to sleep or something (does not turn the computer off). The only way for me to get my screen back is by turning off my power bar and rebooting.
This was happening before I upgraded my memory, and it happens 2 - 4 times a week. I am wondering if my iMac is overheating, it gets up to maybe 45C sometimes.
Any ideas?
Thanks
