[QUOTE="RVC1, post: 1611071, member: 33904"] Thanks for the info chscag. I felt that using ifixit or anything else would still be tough to handle and I didn't want to screw it up. So I brought the computer in. Their initial diagnostic test showed the HD to be bad so I'm having them replace it. The thing is that when I was there, my computer had a kernal panic which it hadn't done since my earlier issues over a year ago. According to the guy, this can be an issue of something else being wrong, not just the HD. At this point though, I don't want to sink more money into this computer doing more diagnostics only to not find anything (again.) So I'm having the HD replaced and hope things are okay and in the meantime plan on buying a new computer, a Mac Pro this time...I regret ever getting an iMac. [/QUOTE]
