Hello Mac Gurus,
I have an iMac from 2009 that shuts down itself. The problem started a few weeks back. iMac would just die on itself several times a day. I reinstalled the OS from disk (erased HDD) but it didn't resolve the problem. However, I noticed that most shutdowns were triggered when I tried to install a software or tried to play with the hard drive (like trying to open Disk Utilities).
After installing the OS, I figured that it would die 7 out of 10 times when i tried to open disk utilities.
I took it to a local apple store and a genius used MRI (Mac Resource Inspection, I believe) to diagnose the problem. No problem were detected. He then erased the HDD and reinstalled same OS from network. It seemed to resolve the problem but now I have it back in my apt and it still keeps dying on me. Any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance
