Hello there,
I hope someone can help me out with this issue that has been plaguing my late 2009 iMac for now quite a long time.
The scrren suddenly locks up, music keeps on playing, the mouse works but has no effect on anything. The only resource is to force a shut down by pressing the power button.
In my particular case, it appears that the issue happens more often when I am listening to an internet radio channel from iTunes. However even without radio, it does freezes on me.
Here is the Hetrecheck report:
Thank you in advance for any help.
