My iMac shuts down without warning
Hello, I'm looking for clues on this and appreciate any help or advice. I think the "writing is on the wall" but I hope the iMac is easily (cheaply?) repaired (time for a new machine?). I like the machine and it is mostly fast enough for my needs.
Here is the post of my panic report. I've had repeated shutdowns lately. I recently (yesterday) upgraded the operating system via the "App Store" update for free. OS X El Capitan. iMac (27-inch, Late 2009). Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Graphic ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB.
Upgrading seemed to help some. Before that, the machine would often get "stuck" and not be able to do anything (spinning rainbow cursor). Then suddenly wake up and be able to resume normally with no visible speed problems. BTW, I have backed everything up also.
Thank You,
Bob
