[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1396894, member: 46727"] It could still be your hard drive even though it checks out OK with Disk Utility. The best test of the hard drive is the S.M.A.R.T. utility: [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24875/smart-utility"]LINK[/URL] You could also try running the Apple Hardware Test which should be on your original install media. [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509"]LINK[/URL] If either one of the tests above indicate that the hard drive is failing, go to [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] and look up the procedure for changing out the hard drive yourself. It's not an easy task to do on an iMac. [/QUOTE]
