[QUOTE="kristiwright, post: 1007302, member: 145535"] Recently I had my first meeting with the PC equivalent of the blue screen of death. It told me to power down immediately which I did, everything came back seemingly normal. I ran disc permissions repair several times in utlities and then ran the in depth hardware test using the dvd that came with my imac. It reports no errors. Should I be concerned? I recently downloaded photo mechanic and I'm having problems with that software not rendering images. PM techs are adamant that it is my imac that has the problem (hardware) and not their software. System: 20" iMac purchased 2009 Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 4 GB I'm pretty new to macs so I'm not sure if I need to rush my computer to a tech for evaluation or if the gray screen is common. It's only happened once. I appreciate any feedback. [/QUOTE]
