[QUOTE="theonegod, post: 523592, member: 22259"] think about it. How could it possibly be a software problem if it is not affecting every Imac with this hardware configuration? The problem only appears to have the characteristics of a software problem because there is no freezing in Imac Update 1.0 and there is freezing in later updates. You need to go deeper then that though and look at what Imac update 1.1 did for the ATI drivers. In Update 1.0 the ATI drivers did not fully support 3d on the card. As a result no freezing. 1.1 and later more fully support the ATI cards 3d abilities. Now it freezes. Do all Imacs with the ATI 2600 HD freeze? No. Do even a significant percentage? No. How could this then possibly be a software issue? It can't. Given what we know about the trigger for the freezing the only "software" fix is to cripple your video cards 3d. How is this a fix? There is only one way to fix this. Exchange your imac under warranty or have them replace the defective hardware. The longer you wait to do this the more time you burn from your macs warranty.
