[QUOTE="chscag, post: 874017, member: 46727"] It definitely sounds like a hardware defect - probably either the power supply or it could even be the logic board. The fact that the machine will operate for awhile and then shut down points to either possibly being bad. Also, you've pretty much exhausted all the recommended tests with no joy. Unless you're a "do it yourself" guy it's probably best to have someone look at your iMac and give you an estimate of repair cost. Since the machine is out of warranty and has no Apple care coverage, the burden is on you. A new logic board for that machine (if that's the problem) can be costly. Power supply replacement is less costly but certainly not inexpensive. If you would like a list of on line repair service centers, post back. Otherwise your local Apple store or authorized Apple repair service center is your best bet to have it repaired. Regards. [/QUOTE]
