Hi rkaufmann87,

Thanks for your answer, but this computer was given to me, so I have no information to back up.

I think you mean Tuxera as the outdated sotware. I will remove it and will try to start again. However, do you notice any other item it may cause me problems?

Best,

J.

Ok Linc, thanks for your tip, I will run the script tonight at home and will paste the results here.

Best,

J.

Sorry, I have passed your script in safe mode only, since this the only way to start the mac. Here are the results:

Hi Linc,

Thanks for your answer. I went to the folders section and there was only a subfolder "5v" apart from the zz one. I then dragged 5v to the trash, but in 5 to 10 seconds, it reappeared again. I tried several times with the same reborning of the folder. Finally, I restarted the computer and it didn't boot properly (remember that I am making all these tests in safe mode since normal mode is not allowed). So, after trying to boot in normal mode without success, I booted in safe mode again to write this message and I still see the 5v folder.

This computer has been given to me, so I made a clean install of os x, and then I installed the rest of software. I have no valuable data and I can trash any application it would be necessary. I am saying so in case a drastic decision must be made, like uninstalling things or even making a new clean install from scratch.

Best,

Javier

Hello Linc,

Those are bad news!

Are you certain about that? I don't want to mean that you don't know what you are talking about, but this piece of news leaves my imac to the trash. Is there any other test I can run to double check it is a hw failure? I have been googling graphics processors and you are right that the service is very expensive.

In any case, thanks for your valuable time!

Regards,

J.

Thanks Linc, I will erase the disk and make a fresh istall. I will report here the results.

I appreciate your expertise!

Thank you.

Best,

J.

Hello again,

I couldn't be able to reinstall El Capitan again. Reading on forums, some people claim that the graphics card is not working properly in the last OS X since the necessary kexts where obsolete. This would be the origin of the freezing problems and corruption of folders. With this in mind, I grab the original OS X disc coming with the imac and I have installed it as a test. After that, with no problem in installation and without any other procedure (no updating and no installation of anything), I tested again with your script and here are the results:
