GPU issue on iMac 27 A1419 2012 with nVidia GTX

This post is not a question but only info regarding some GPU issue on iMac 27 A1419 year 2012.

Freeze, restart and graphic glitches resolved with GPU rework, same issues of this old post (it's not possible to reply): Random freezes A1419

The solution is logic board repair, same described (in italian) here.

The fix is only for iMac 27 with GPU nVidia model GTX 680 | 660 | 675.

I hope this info will be useful for some other guy in communities.

Regards

iMac, A1419 2012

iMac G5 GPU Fault? Hello! I have an iMac G5 iSight 20" Desktop computer. It was given to me with some old software. After fixing the front bezel coming off the back, I powered it on and everything worked fine. Then I installed a bunch of software. After I installed a copy of Norton Utilities 8 for Mac OS 10.0, (My Mac was running 10.4.11), then it prompted me to restart to finish the installation. When it started up, strange lines covered the screen, in a purple or occasionally green colour. Help! Can I fix this? Did Norton Utilities cause the issue? Thanks. Josh

iMac 20-inch Mid 2009 NVIDIA GeForce 9400 keeps crashing Hello, I have a beautiful iMac 20-inch, Mid-2009, with a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory (third party, Komputer Bay), and NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB running OS X El Capitan v 10.11.16. Occasionally the machine is crashing, and when I check the crash report, its mostly a different process causing it. What is the best way to find the reason of this crash? I tried EtreCheck but not much help. Crash reports occasionally show that the crash happened when some video activity happens (sometimes when a heavy YouTube video, or sometime when a minimal screen animation). I suspect memory chip is defective, but need some advice how to check it. If confirmed, I c an buy new 2x4GB and replace the existing 4GB module. I also noticed the GPU card usually is defective and causing these kind of crashes - is there any way of disabling the GPU and still continue using this computer with no major repair. Any advice is appreciated.
