    It would help us to help you if we could have some more technical info about your iMac.

    If you like, please go ahead and download, install and run Etrecheck.

    Etrecheck was developed as a simple Mac diagnostic report tool by a regular Apple Support forum user and technical support contributor named Etresoft. Etrecheck is a small, unobstrusive app that compiles a static snapshot of your entire Mac hardware system and installed software.

    This is a free app that has been honestly created to provided help in diagnosing issues with Macs running the new OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

    It is not malware and can be safely downloaded and installed onto your Mac.
