[QUOTE="Heinzl, post: 1503532, member: 297755"] For the past year now I have had issues with my imac. After the first year and a half, every time I started up my computer it would take anywhere from 15-25 minutes to startup. After getting tired of waiting for it to start up, I decided once it started up I was never going to shut it down again. I did that for about 5 mos. and everything seemed to be fine. One day I decided to shut it down, which led to my next problem, computer freezes up after start up. Once I reached the desktop, I could access the internet for about 30 seconds, then it freezes, ...can't do anything with it, so I hold in the power button until it shuts down. I noticed prior to the freezing problem, that my computer seemed to be unusually hot if I ran my hand across the back of the computer (towards the upper portion of the computer). Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to resolve this issue (these issues)? I'm about ready to toss this thing out the window. I've only had it for about 2 1/2 years. Would appreciate any suggestions you may have! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
