[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 638320, member: 16911"] Is the fan working? iStat will tell you. I expect it is to be honest and I doubt you're suffering from overheating. I don't know of any case of an overheating iMac, just plenty of cases being obsessed with the temperature of the thing and messing about with the fans for no reason at all. Chances are the memory, hard drive or power supply are the problems. Please tell us when it crashes. Just certain programs or will it crash if you leave it and return to it half an hour later? Can you take a screenshot of Activity Monitor. It might give us some clues. Is your memory in 2x 512mb sticks? [/QUOTE]
