Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My iMac freezes/crashes and an odd pattern fills the screen
Nothing responds EXCEPT the cursor will move but nothing else will respond--keys, clicks, esc.,etc--I have to power the Mac off and then back on to get it normal until the next freeze/crash.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
Possibly a GPU failure. You can try some basic resets however if it is hardware they will not help.
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support
How to reset NVRAM on your Mac
If those do not work, take the computer to your local Apple Store for a free diagnostic or you can also take it to an independent Apple Authorized Service Provider in your area.
Good luck.

Thanks--it's an older unit and I suspect it's what you suggest. I'm 2 hours from nearest Apple Store, but I'll make an appointment.
