I get a white screen with a folder containing a question mark flashing on & off in the center of screen.
This has happened twice in the last 3 weeks. Once when re-starting from sleep mode, & once when starting from an overnight shutdown.
I have to shut it down & re-start.
Found this thread related to the problem.

Possible causes addressed: directory corruption - hard drive going bad
I haven’t tried any of the recommendations yet. I was hoping to upgrade the OS one more time before buying a new iMac, would this do anything to address the issue ?
I have appointments & errands this afternoon, & may be away until tomorrow. Please be patient if I don’t reply before then.
Thanks in advance.
