I have a "late 2009" iMac 27" , 3.06 GHz core 2 , 12 gig ram , El Capitan .. Sometimes the screen will just go black .. I had the same problem about a year ago then it was fine for about 10 months .. Now it's back again .. When it does it you have to walk away for about 1/2 hour then click the mouse and it's back on until it happens again.. The Apple store said possibly the board or screen is bad.. It's not a heat issue because sometimes you don't get 30 seconds before it goes black and sometimes 1 hour , you just never know.. If your on You Tube when it happens you can hear the video fine just the screen is black , and because on You Tube it goes to the next video and next video you have to post/hold the power button on back to shut down .. This is driving me CRAZY I'm probably going to get a new iMac but I do want to sell this one , and it's hard to sell like this...
I was going to do a search on here , but I didn't know if I would have time before it goes black..
