[QUOTE="waiton, post: 779926, member: 47001"] Hey there Thanks for following up with what you did / how they fixed it. I've only this week got the same problem that you had. Leaving updates on or running something unattended works fine, but once I even move the window across the screen or click a link to another site, the iMac freezes and needs a hard reboot. I've also noticed over a dozen bright/stuck pixels scattered all over the screen and horizontal bands appearing as if random on reboots. I think it is also heat related as a fresh start in the morning after leaving it off overnight shows no problems until about 40 minutes of use. I've also tried reinstalling OS X Tiger a couple times. The strange thing is that I had my logic board replaced in 2007 because of video flickering. It is simply frustrating that it is the same part(s) that is repeatedly failing. I will take it in for repair on Monday and update if it is good news for me. [/QUOTE]
