[QUOTE="rubaiyat, post: 1627934, member: 240393"] What is the ambient temperature? Summer is not a good time, neither is an overheated house in winter. Seems to me that Yosemite could be adding to the load. Be warned that this could be leading to hardware failure. Heat stresses everything, and can open up solder. I completely lost an iMac to heat. First I had problems with the CPU, then the GPU and finally the HDD. Put your hands near the vents, it should be quite warm but tolerable. Possibly the heat sensors may be going as well. They used to just be dangling inside near the things they were supposed to monitor, if they drifted away they could only pick up the heat after it had already got quite hot and hard to manage. Vacuum out any vents and take it into Apple to check out. [/QUOTE]
