[QUOTE="Jbar2016, post: 1892006, member: 408892"] So i am a pc tech of many years, but i have very little experience on macs. I received a 27" imac for free because it was not booting, i am not sure of its history. Sure enough, the first time i booted it went directly into the recovery utility after failing to load, i tried to reinstall but would get stuck at icloud sign in. I decided screw it, popped in the windows install usb and deleted all partitions and installed windows. this is when i began to see my current issue, other than a driver issue i noticed it crash with a dark grey screen with vertical lines the reboot, at the time i thought it was driver related. I decided to try mac os again, and this time a newer version of mac os was shown and i didnt have to log into icloud!!! The system got completely through setup, and even to the desktop for a half hour, then i got a black screen with vertical lines then reboot, after reboot it lasted a couple minutes and got a grey screen with vertical lines, i just shut it down and left it unplugged. This is an older mid 2010 model and here are the specs. 27" screen Core i5 2.8ghz 32gb ram 250gb apple ssd [/QUOTE]
