Brand new iMac 24" crashes and burns playing games in bootcamp

If this continues I guess I will have to call support but for those that are interested here is the story:
I have a 24" iMac 3gig and I have installed bootcamp - although I am not convinced as to how well this worked with the driver install as I have problems pairing my bluetooth mouse and keyboard in windows - works fine in OS/X.
If I play WoW in OS/X it seems to handle this. I currently bought Warhammer Online which is PC only so I put it into my bootcamp partition. It runs absolutely fine until it gets hot and then it quite happily brings the machine down.
Symptoms.
wireless networking stops
bluetooth becomes unreliable even when rebooted into OS/X
System crashes and screen goes black - no repsonse or anything
I find this worrying as such occurences cannot be doing my system any good.
I installed fan control and tried upping the fans and my ssytem is now a little noisy but it still happens.
After spending so much money on what is touted as a robust and performant system I am very disapointed. It seems despite controlling and selecting hardware Apple are no better than PC manufacturers. Except prettier

Consumer ? The top end iMac ? Certainly my local shop has a different definition of consumer. Agreed the Mac Pro is HIGH performance and also a high price.
For most of my needs I am happy with the Mac, a little disapointed with boot camp but that is all. Not just the game, but also the bluetooth keyboard - just can't get it to work. Works perfectly in OS/X which I guess is the main thing.
Only real niggle in OS/X is the mighty mouse seems to be a bit sporadic with the right click. Works for a time and then doesn't. Very annoying, mainly becuase when it is working properly it is brilliant - so infuriating when it doesn't.
Still - early days yet, and still learning - so hopefully I will sort everything out to my satisfaction.

  • HT201250 I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was?

    I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
    In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.

  • Brand new iMac keeps crashing

    Two-day old iMac began crashing shortly after Pro Tools installation.  The screen flashes too quickly, so hopefully the coding is correctly transcribed form photographs.

  • Brand new ipad4, continually crashing and restarting

    I bought an iPad 4 in July 2013, it went back after a few months or so as the battery was faulty. It was replaced with a 'new' one. January came, another fault, went back, was swapped. Was replaced with another one that had a battery that went faulty within 3 months or so, also the screen was 'ghosting' (could see the pages of the last 3 or 4 apps on the screen, one top of each other, right mess).
    Now I swapped that one on Monday. I struggled to get the 'new' replacement to even turn on, I thought it was in need of charging. It turned out it had 91%. Had to hard reset to get it on. Did it's updates, with it shutting down randomly throughout. (I'm lucky I even managed to write this!)
    All this pad has been doing is randomly shutting down and restarting, looked at the crash reports and at some points it says it's an iPhone.... The update has obviously screwed it, it came with iOS 7 on, unlike the other pads I have had since July which hadn't been crashing..... Do I seriously have to travel to the nearest apple store to get a new one or can Apple do something without that. It's not easy for me to get there.... I rang AppleCare and the guy actually didn't know what he was doing, so fobbed me off with saying he'd get someone else to call.... Never did.

  • Ive just got a new windows 8 laptop and can play games cause it says i new adobe flash player but its already installed?

    .........bkhb

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Brand new iMac 27 2011 won't boot after Lion upgrade

    Got a brand new iMac 27 2011 yesterday and did an update to 10.6.8 first before installing OSX Lion over it...
    After restarting it just shows then the "prohibitive icon" on screen and shuts down after few seconds...
    It won't even boot from an USB stick with the OSX Lion image on it...
    Recovery partition works but can't do a reinstall from there....
    So going back to 10.6.8 now...

    Just so you know I purchased brand new imac in July and did the same upgrade as you. I just installed Lion but did not have any issues. Only one concern overall though, it slowed down my new imac a bit. Not sure if there are settings or not but Leopard was faster than this. AppStore, iTunes are eating lot of memory and CPU util goes up.

  • Upstart problem with my brand new Imac 27" I5

    I have just bought a brand new Imac 27" I5, and have had an 24" before, and i am so happy about the ned 27" I5 late 10.
    When i start up the new Imac i get the apple icon with the white upstart window, and the next window is blue, and than i doesn't get any further. The harddisk stop spinning, and the cooler stops, but there is just a blue screen, and the only thing to do is a hardware reset by the start up buttom.
    It starts up again, and the 3 or 4 time a can start up, and all the things works. But sometimes, when the computer goes to sleep mode, the screen fills with all kinds of colours.
    I am very unhappy about it, and hope someone can help me.
    I have tried to re install the osx, but it have not helped med
    Kindly regards
    MTP

    Call AppleCare or return it to the store for repair.

  • Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

  • Brand new imac 27" keeps crashing randomly in mavericks while idling, using firefox, transferring files, etc.  Reformatted and reinstalled everything from scratch after 15 plus crashes a day.  Crashes now only 4 times a day.  Help!

    Brand new imac 27" keeps crashing.  I'm running 10.9.2 with all software up to date.  It will crash on file tranfers to/from/between external drives, web browsing, word processing, video editing, and even while idling.  It used to crash every 15 minutes when I first got it but I reformatted and reinstalled all software.  Now it it still crashing albeit less often.  This is extremely frustrating because I have no idea what I can do to prevent it from happening!
    Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hmm thanks for the input.  Alright. I uninstalled Avast.  Was good for an hour or so.  I was doing some file browsing and crashed again.  Got this message.

  • Video converters from app store and online making my brand new iMac crash continuously, why?

    I have downloaded various video converters from the app store and online and it seems that no matter which one I use they all make my brand new iMac (I've had it less than 2 weeks) crash. I've wiped the disk once and reinstalled mountain lion twice as directed when I rang apple and I'm still encountering the same problem.
    I would really like to find a way to fix this problem without having my mac sent away for repairs.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem or know how I could fix it?

  • I have a brand new iMac that does not have iDVD. Made a move on iMovie installed a 3rd party burn prog. but DVD won't playback on my regular dvd player. Need to burn one that will. Help!

    My new iMac did not come with iDVD as they are not using iDVD any longer.  I made a movie that I needed to put on a DVD that would play on any external DVD player. After calling Apple twice, they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx" and made the DVD; however when i insert it into my player connected to the TV it gives the message "disk error --playback feature may not be available on this disk".  Ok--now what?  I am up against a time line here--need the DVD for a graduation party! Help! What am I not doing correctly?

    I have a brand new iMac
    If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
    408-996-1010
    800-692-7753
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

    they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx"
    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie. Get iDVD.

  • Final Cut X Keeps Crashing with Brand New iMac

    I have a brand new iMac (3.2GHz Quad-core Intel i5, 8GB SDRAM, 1TB ATA, 1GB GGDR5) and have done almost nothing on it before downloading the trial version of Final Cut Pro X. I was used to Final Cut 7 and wanted to try out X before purchasing.
    I have one project and one event in Final Cut X, it's only a 4 minute video of mostly images, some video and two audio tracks. Every time I try and add any effect like a simple crop/Ken Burns or cross disolve to one of the pictures, Final Cut crashes.
    Most of the stuff on here says to delete your preferences or repair disk permissions. I have repaired disk permissions and it still crashes. And as far as preferences, it says to use an app from Digital Rebellion to delete any preferences but I don't think I even have any to delete. I went to system folder -> Library -> Preferences and looked for any FinalCut.plist files to delete and there are none.
    I'm wondering if certain photos I'm using are corrupted, but it would appear they all are then. I imported them from a file, would it help to import them from iPhoto? Is there something else I could do to fix those photo files? Or anything else I could try to get Final Cut from crashing?

    Thanks for your reply Russ. I'm not sure what you mean by Preference Manager. Am I looking in the correct place for preference files? (Users > Library > Preferences)
    Are you saying that even though I may not find them in the Prefereces Folder, an app like Digital Rebellion would help me find them?
    I'll try testing a new project but the problem is I can't isolate the problem clip because it seems to be crashing anytime I try and add effects to any photo. Do you know of an app that I could run photos through to "uncorrupt" them?
    And when you say create a new user account, you mean at the system level of the computer?

  • I keep getting an error trying to burn DVD on brand new imac!  Error code 0x8002006B

    I have a brand new imac and the very first time I tried to burn a dvd I got error code 0x8002006B.  I have had this computer only a few weeks. How does this problem get fixed?  spend too much money to have a faulty computer!

    I have not formatted the disk since 2009 when I first got my quad core i7
    OS X is not Windows and there is no need to "delete and reinstall" frequently
    If you're non tech person or (like me) a bit lazy to perform tasks manually, get Onyx -> http://www.titanium.free.fr/ and clean up your system ocasionally.
    For deleting applications use a tool like App Cleaner -> http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25276/appcleaner
    Run "Permissions Repair" and a clean up before and after each major update; e.g. 10.6.5 -> 10.6.7.
    Update to 10.6.8 too, as 10.6.7 is a bit sluggish.
    I've never delete, format or reinstall since 2008 and performed just a system disk swap from the old MacBook to the new one when my 2011 MacBook Pro arrived.
    That was like eating a pie.
    Open old one, pull disk. Open new one and changed disk's. Startup and waiting 3 minutes for completing hardware detection. Performed all necesary updates. Cleaned system, doing a permissions repair, reboot and my system runs as designed and expected.
    Needless to mention that I have NO issues and everything on my new MBPro runs fine, fast and smooth.

  • How do I uninstall Mavericks and recover Lion?  I have a brand new iMac and web pages stall or freeze since I installed Mavericks.  I can't get it to download software for my printer when I connect it.

    I have a brand new iMac.  It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks.  Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load.  The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes.  If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem.  I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze.  Then I got the yellow  triangle telling me there was a connection problem.  My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live.  I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi.  I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT!  I really want to return to Lion.  HELP.

    The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
    1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
    2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
    But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc?  Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem.  finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

  • Brand new imac Retina and can't enter Apple Diagnostics.  Doing it wrong?

    I've had various issues with my brand new imac retina.  I've spoken with Apple Care about two of them (Finder icon issue; slow shut down) and we're working through it all trying to figure out if it's software and whether the current beta update will solve the problem when it comes out.  They've extended their 14 day exchange to 60 days for me while we sort it out.
    All said, one thing they suggested was to run the Apple Diagnostics by holding down D upon booting.  I've tried running this, it comes to a screen wanting me to pick the language, and nothing happens.  It's like it doesn't do anything upon picking the language, just sits there. 
    The Sr. Tech I was talking with just said "that's strange" but with other things we were discussing he went about focusing on the other things.
    I may try yet another separate call to discuss this with them but I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has encountered/solved this issue, see if I'm going about it the wrong way.
    I'm holding down D and I'm connected by ethernet.  This is the new imac retina 5k, 2014.
    Thanks.

    That's might nice of Apple.  Personally, I would not be sorting anything out on a brand new Mac.  I would be demanding a brand new replacement.  One that is suppose to work rigiht out the  box.

    The techs wanted you to run Apple's Hardware Test.  See KB Article:  Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support
    Thanks.
