This one's happened approx 10 times in the past couple of weeks.
When I switch my iMac on ,after a few moments (After the horn sound) a blue screen pops up with a grey box in the middle (It has a picture of a power button behind it) tellng me & 3 other languages that the system needs to be switched off by holding down the power button or pressing the reset button.
One time, the message came up 4 times in a row. I ended up leaving the machine off for 15 mins then coming back to it before it booted.
At a guess I'd think the system isn't shutting itself down properly, but it really is just a guess.
For a bit of extra info. I've tried quitting any running apps manually before shutting down the system & it has happened after that too.
Any guidance on this one peeps?
