[QUOTE="orlfman, post: 1225316, member: 59190"] I do suspect it was caused by overheating as well. I noticed when I was playing SC2 a couple of minutes before the kernel panic that my fans kicked in really fast and it sounded like they were maxed out at their full RPM. After the kernel panic I touched the top of my iMac and it was hotter than normal. I'm not shocked since my room temperature was about 82 degrees. I went ahead and I ran Apples Hardware Test today which was on my second installation dvd with my room temperature at 76 degrees set to "extended testing" and it passed with flying colors. I also played a bit of World of Warcraft and Starcraft 2 again with zero issues and their FPS still the same. I do have Apple Care so if I notice anything else starting to act weird or another kernel panic I will bring in it and have them look at it. In the meantime, I will kept monitoring its temps now with [url=http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html]Temperature Monitor[/url] [/QUOTE]
