[QUOTE="rhazen, post: 1261486, member: 206749"] Well shoot. My iMac is my TV. So, I've got no way of hooking it up to anything to check it out. I was doing more research on the problem and found a blog that said my graphics card may be overheating due to dust in the cooling fan (and also that this problem is exasperated by Snow leopard, which I have installed) and causing these lines. I wonder how much it would cost to bring it in and have apple look it over and possibly clean the dust out? **In addition, I just looked at the fan underneath the stand of my iMac (which I didn't even know was there until I watched a instructional cleaning video) and it was literally caked with dust. So, I am wondering if getting my iMac professionally cleaned and replacing the graphics card would be the solution? [/QUOTE]
