[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1521127, member: 46727"] I'm not sure I would fool it with any longer. According to Mactracker, your iMac is a 2006 model (maybe 2007) so it's seen better years. The symptoms could be anything from a bad hard drive (even though it verifies) to memory or graphics. Your machine uses a nVidia GPU which during those years was known to be problematic in the MacBook Pro series. Since it's now giving you problems is safe mode, that may indicate a hardware defect. But like I said above, it's an old machine and may not be worth the time and money to repair it. Might be time to retire it and get something newer. [/QUOTE]
