Hi guys-
Im in hopes of getting a real quick answer here, and I I apologize if this has already been stated. Heres what I have:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.20f4
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD2400
I just find it quite odd that after never having a problem with Leopard, that all of a sudden I upgrade to snow leopard (right over top of leopard) that I get all the lines going through my screen and black outs--where I have to reboot. Ive read many problems in other forums/sites like this and nobody has a solution--nobody.
Replies range from take into apple genius, re-install snow leopard, clean install, reset PRAM/SMC, disc utility repair, permissions repair, smc fancontrol, etc. Does anybody here have a solid response or better idea?
Heres what I think it is: I dont think my ATI graphics card can handle Snow Leopard at 1680 x 1050 resolution. Which is ridiculous if thats the case. So far, for 2 hours last night (10-12:30am) and part of today (7-11 am), there have been no problems with lines, screen black outs at 1344 x 840 resolution. The past 2 days after installing snow leopard I was getting frozen screens, screen black outs and graphic problems every hour or 2.
I beg for help on this as it has consumed me for 3 days now. I want to go back to Leopard so bad if I cant get this fixed.
Thanks so much!
Reese
