Q: FCPX issue with iMac 27 inch (Late 2013) Nvidia GeForce GTX 775M and Yosemite

Just ordered a new iMac a couple of days ago and it keeps on crashing and restarting. I have a 27 inch 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 24GB of RAM installed running Yosemite 10.10.2 and FCPX 10.1.4. I am also applying a plugin called Neat Video. It has the option to render using the CPU and GPU but I have tried rendering with both options or a combination of both and it crashes my system when applying. I used to run a older 2011 iMac with Yosemite, FCPX latest version and Neat Video and it wouldn't crash. I was wondering if Yosemite doesn't support the graphics card on FCPX. since on the Tech Specs it says it only supports Open CL in Mavericks. Should I go back to Mavericks?

The following AMD, ATI, and NVIDIA graphics cards are available in Apple computers and support OpenCL in OS X Mavericks.

NVIDIA
- GeForce 320M
- GeForce GT 330M
- GeForce GT 640M
- GeForce GT 650M
- GeForce GTX 660M
- GeForce GTX 675M
- GeForce GTX 680MX
- GeForce GT 750M
- GeForce GT 755M
- GeForce GTX 775M

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

I have contacted Neat Video with this and they said they have not had anyone else with similar issues. There seems to be something happening with FCPX. I just had my system restart without giving me a crash log

Spontaneous reboot of the OS? You should get the hardware checked by a service technician.

Agreed, there's nothing -- not that I know of -- within an application that will, or can, cause the Macintosh OS to spontaneously restart the computer. Some OS and a few application update scripts will cause the machine to restart but you get a clear notification of that event.

Head over to the iMac hardware forum and start looking for reboot or restart questions and issues.
