    Why would you think it's supposed to time out?

     

    BTW, please when posting a question, please post complete information including:

     

    • Version of OS X currently installed on your computer
    • Amount of RAM installed
    • Which iMac you have.

    Thanks that helps a bit. BTW, Apple has been making 27" iMacs in various configurations for 6+ years. If you aren't sure which one you have, click the Apple Symbol in the upper left of the display and select About this Mac.

     

    As for your issue, if this has just started please restart in Safe Mode and then restart normally. To restart in Safe Mode, hold down the Shift key on the restart and wait until it fully restarts. After it has booted in Safe Mode then restart normally and retest.
