Hi,
I experience often a freeze of my IMac 27 running OS X 10.9. The freeze happens when I'm using safari and only the mouse pointer moves, everything else is freezed. The only solution is to reboot the IMac. I start experiencing this more after 10.9 update.
HELP!!!
Thanks a lot.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I've been having exactly the same issue with my iMac.

The same problem with my iMac, same HD 4670 Radeon graphics card.
Bug has been present since 10.8.x, and usually manifests itself while using Chrome or scrolling web pages in Safari.
I can still remotely log into my mac via SSH, and try to collect 'sysdiagnose' files. However, 'shutdown' command won't succeed.
I suggest everyone files a bug report to apple and provides all necessary information required (for instance, system.log, which usually contains GPU Debug information, sysdiagnose dumps and system report).
Clean re-install of OS X usually allows to work without such freezes for several weeks.
Also, ONYX tool for 10.9 might improve things a bit: you need to clean several caches and reboot.
I also have the same problem for almost a year now.
Clean install didn't work
Reset PRAM didn't work
Reset SMC didn't work
I think it's getting time Apple delivers us a solution !
Hello everyone,
I have the same probleme with my imac 27 mid-2011
I thought it was related with snow leopard, but I had upgraded to moutain lion, and now Mavericks, I still had the same trouble, the mouse and the keyboard freeze. The only solution is to shutdown the computer.
I have also a macbook, but never this problem on it! It seems to be an hardware problem ?
GOOD NEWS !
Somebody found a solution and I've tried it.
No crashes yet...
