[QUOTE="josehill, post: 1637983, member: 252281"] Thanks for the screen shot. I've seen problems like that on older iMacs that weren't getting enough cooling. A quick and easy thing to try is to install [URL="http://www.eidac.de/?cat=40"]smcFanControl[/URL] and to adjust the fan settings to spin at a higher rate. I've seen smcFanControl take iMacs that were headed to the recyclers and make them fully functional again. You might also check that the air vents are clear of dust. To be really thorough, you'd [URL="https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iMac_Intel_20%22_EMC_2133_and_2210"]remove the display screen and dust out the interior[/URL], too, but not everyone wants to mess around with the glass. Of course, it may just be that the graphics board or some other component is beyond rescue. [/QUOTE]
