[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1510155, member: 46727"] If your iMac is operating OK in safe mode then that means the video is working correctly. And it's not likely to be a hardware problem. Also, I don't believe you have malware. The Adobe Flash update should be OK. Take a look at your startup apps to see what might be running when you're in normal mode. Here's how: 1. System Preferences - Users & Groups (or Accounts), click on the "Login Items" tab. That will show what apps are running on startup. You can remove them by pressing the minus button below after highlighting them. (You first must open the small lock with your admin password.) 2. Open the Finder. Navigate your way here: Macintosh HD/Library/StartupItems/ Macintosh HD/System/Library/StartupItems/ If there are any apps in the above two folders, don't delete them. Let us know what they are first. [/QUOTE]
