[QUOTE="dotdotdot, post: 1611654, member: 280973"] 2 year old iMac. No gaming. I get a crash / freeze where the computer is always completely unresponsive (even the power button doesn't work). I have to unplug it from the wall and then restart it. This happens maybe once a month, or twice a day. Problems started right away from ownership but hasn't increased in frequency much. At the 1 year mark I had to do a reformat because it would not reboot. I've had a handful of kernel panics, but none lately. (No Apple Care.) There are two common themes to these episodes. 1) Almost always, but not quite, I am watching a video clip (yes...even happens on a mainstream site, such as Yahoo!). 2) Out of the speakers (auxiliary) there is a repetitive clicking sound, which always happens. Can anything be deduced from the connection between points 1 and 2? [/QUOTE]
