[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1655004, member: 8287"] This probably will not be the most welcome news, but I should mention it anyway. I own that very same 5.1 Core2Duo 2.1 Ghz White iMac. It was running great under Lion then one day I started to see artifacts that came and went. It got worse over time and the GPU temp would go way up and it would hard lock even with Facebook games! I did a search and found the ATI Radeon X1600's in those white iMacs are dying all over the place. I got on Ebay and found a used but guaranteed Logic board for $50 and replaced the board. I had to use MY CPU from my old board. With the new board it's like new again and no more issues and temps doing the same games 20c lower. [/QUOTE]
