Q: Randomly shutting down late 2012 27" iMac, 3.2 GHz i5 processor. 16 out of 32 GB ram (crucial). Tried the PRAM and SMC, both did not work.
Hello, I have a late 2012 27" iMac. Its a 3.2 GHz i5 processor. I originally upgraded my ram to 32 GB and was running like a champ for over a year. Then, it started to randomly turn off no matter what I was doing. I took it to the apple store and they said it was the ram. So I ordered 16 GB of ram from Crucial that matched what they said my computer would need. I got it in last week and installed it and it still turns off randomly. I have tried the PRAM and SMC resets and the computer will run like a champ for 15-20 mins then turns off. I would love any help, advice or possible solutions as I am by no means a computer wiz. Thanks in advanced!
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
