[QUOTE="FuZion, post: 372969, member: 24035"] This one's happened approx 10 times in the past couple of weeks. When I switch my iMac on ,after a few moments (After the horn sound) a blue screen pops up with a grey box in the middle (It has a picture of a power button behind it) tellng me & 3 other languages that the system needs to be switched off by holding down the power button or pressing the reset button. One time, the message came up 4 times in a row. I ended up leaving the machine off for 15 mins then coming back to it before it booted. At a guess I'd think the system isn't shutting itself down properly, but it really is just a guess. For a bit of extra info. I've tried quitting any running apps manually before shutting down the system & it has happened after that too. Any guidance on this one peeps? FuZion. [/QUOTE]
