- 20" 2Ghz iMac w/ glossy screen
My iMac is the first generation of the aluminum macs that were released in late 2007 and I have recently encountered a problem with screen glitching and spontaneous freezing. Sometimes the screen turns white, sometimes the display shows colorful static, sometimes it freezes finder and all I can do is move the pointer. When the freeze lets me still move the pointer, the pointer reverts to the position in which the pointer was when the screen froze after a few seconds of moving.
Sometimes I notice display glitches like the icons have pixels where the color is wrong. Also the audio usually continues playing, but I cannot force quit anything or relaunch finder (since nothing is accessible). Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? Running snow leopard, non-apple 4GB 667MHz RAM.
Here are a couple of pictures I have gotten of the weird display problems:
