iMac keeps freezing/crashing
Hi,
I would really appreciate some support from anyone,
My iMac has been crashing for sometime now, usually when i'm watching something online or playing a game. At first I thought I needed to upgrade my OS to Yosemite which I did but the issue has not resolved. So I completely wiped my iMac and restored to factory settings. I tried to use it again (just watching a stream clip online) and it completely froze and then restarted itself giving the following report - any insight into my issue would be greatly appreciated - I'm literally on the verge of just getting rid of it!! Thank you.
