Q: iMac suddenly freezes

Some times suddenly my iMac freezes completely, I can't move the cursor and I always hear a beeping sound. This happens mostly when the iMac is used for 2-3 hours.

    Care to share which OS you are using?

     

     

     

    When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which iMac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.

     

     

     

    ***This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct solutions.***

     

     

    Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)

    5 beeps = processor is not usable
