Just after 2 years my iMac has suddenly stopped working. Logic board ceased to function. What might be the reason? Now I have to spend ₹45,000/- to make it work again. My 9.5 year old MacBook Pro still functioning well and no board issues.
For surge protection and uninterrupted power supply, I used a UPS for the iMac but still the logic board has got affected. Anybody with same issues? Any preventive measure for future? Thanks!

well the mean time to failure that every electronic component has is a statistical number, sooner or later they all die, but some die on day 1 (which would be covered by the warranty) and some goes on for many many years.
Might be this: “For surge protection and uninterrupted power supply, I used a UPS for the iMac” - avoid, not necessary and could hasten.
Could be any number of things, from power surges, to overheating too many times, high humidity causing corrosion of components, or cosmic rays…
...clogging the vents with books, pet hair or dust...
All of the posts by Rudegar, KiltedTim, hcsitas & Keith Barkley are all correct. Bottom line, just bad luck. Moving forward consider getting AppleCare on the next purchase. AppleCare is considerably less than the repair bill you are going to have.
What causes Logic Board failure in iMac?
