My fathers iMac (2.66 C2D, 4Gb RAM, OSX 10.7.4) has been giving him fits lately. It randomly goes to a black screen in use. In some instances the screen will return after moving the mouse or typing and sometimes the only way I have been able to get the screen back is to unplug the power, hold the power button for 30 seconds and reconnect power. PSU or GPU?
Ah, before I forget, I did run memtest yesterday and all RAM was ok. When I went to check the results of the test the iMac had once again black screened. When I got it on again the test results were still on screen and the results were fine.
Just happened again, think my best option is to convince him to get a new model since this one is 5 years old.
