[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1524394, member: 46727"] OK, thanks for posting your info. Your iMac is fairly old so there may be some other things that are coming into play. I'm thinking that it's possible the fans (there are 3) may be clogged or the vents may not be pushing as much air thru them as they should. To get into safe mode, restart the iMac and hold down your shift key until you see the big Apple appear on the screen. Safe mode blocks all third party drivers and startup programs from running. At the same time it stops the sound module from working - but that's OK. It also removes some networking things but that should not affect you. Run that way for awhile. Let's see what happens. Post back and we can go from there with something else. [/QUOTE]
