Q: I can't logon my iMac since it went all blue
I have a late-2009 iMac 24-inch desktop using Mountain Lion.
While on a financial website using Safari, I tried to open another page and the current page went all blue.
Moving my cursor around on the page removed chunks of the blue.
Nothing was active.
After a shutdown, when I typed in my password it wouldn't respond.
After another shutdown I clicked on 'guest' and it went to the next screen but then it was non-responsive.
After unplugging the iMac for a while, it would only give me the opening screen and not let me click on my icon.
Any ideas?
Thanks…walter
iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
Run Repair Drive using Disk Utility in Recovery.
This should help identify any drive issues you might be having. It's possible it will tell you to reformat your drive. Reformatting erases all data. Be sure to backup first.
