[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1872028, member: 38864"] It would help if we knew exactly which iMac your friend has, but honestly i doubt it will help. Since booting into Safe Mode works and nothing else will (you've done everything reasonable to troubleshoot... great job!), I'm guessing there must be a hardware failure with the GPU, and that's not swappable. Replacing the entire motherboard may be an option, but a very expensive one. Don't pull the trigger until someone else chimes in to support me here though. You could try the Apple Hardware Test (or Apple Diagnostics, depending on which iMac is in use here) to see if it detects anything specific.
