IMac - Random freezes

My iMac G3 just freezes randomly for no reason. It has frozen trying to go to certain websites, and it has frozen opening diffrent folders, menus, and control panels. The same thing happens with it on OS 8 as it does on OS 9. Im guessing this is a hardware issue??
Specs:
Tray loading iMac G3
160mb Ram
333mhz cpu (upgraded cpu board from 266mhz)
Please reply with your diagnoses. Thanks.

Gavin -
At what point did you try installing OS X? Did you update your Firmware first?
You were always in for a bumpy ride using X with 160MB RAM, but if you do try going back to the original 32MB chip on its own as Strider wisely suggests, don't even try booting into X.
Since you have so many OS versions, is it just my nasty suspicious mind, or is it fair to assume the discs were 'borrowed' from other machines, rather than being full retail versions?
If so, I think you've nailed your problem.

  • IMac randomly freezes. Spinning pinwheel

    My late 2009 iMac running OS X 10.6.3 and now 10.6.4 has had a problem randomly freezing. The problem is easily remedied by manually shutting down with the power button and then powering the machine back on. However, I am tired of having to do this and am wondering if there is anything that can be done to stop this from happening. There is no rhyme or reason to these occurrences. Sometimes it will happen when waking up from sleep mode. Sometimes it occurs when you are actively using the computer. I never overload the ram with to many programs or processes at one time. Also, I have tried various resets with no luck. Please help!

    You people are overly cautious. As long as the drive isn't being written to at the time, you're not likely to do any harm to the system shutting it down by holding in the power button. Things were a bit different in the days before journaled filesystems, but like so many bits of sage IT wisdom floating about, it's based on severely outdated information. Look at the number of people still giving advice for ni-cad batteries to people with Li-Ion batteries for example. Telling them all about memory effects, and how you should let the battery completely discharge before charging it again. Hasn't been valid advice for probably 10+ years, which is probably just about how long it takes for it to filter down to the general populace. You've got to just love it when someone tries to pass off someone else's bit of advice/wisdom as their own in an attempt to seem like some kind of IT sage, and then because they don't really understand any of the background info, invariably screw it up or keep repeating the same bit of advice for years, long after it stopped being relevant.
    Anyway, journaled filesystems, like HFS+, should be able to recover from just about anything short of a HDD failure. Granted the goal is to let everything shut down in an orderly fashion, but I got to tell you. Mac OS X tends to shut down way too fast, so behind the scenes it's probably just kill -9ing everything. Which is to say it's about the same as if you just shut the system off via the power switch.

  • Mid-2010 iMac randomly freezing after last Windows 7 update.  Help!  I am a teacher and have 50 computers all behaving the same way.

    I am a teacher and have 50 mid-2010 iMacs running Windows 7 in my classroom.  The computers did a Windows 7 automatic update on or around April 15, 2014.  After that, each computer randomly freezes.  Some are worse than others.  Most of the computers freeze when a USB drive is plugged in and also when a pop-up shows up on the screen - especially the Java update.  I have installed the most current Bootcamp drivers and run several anti-virus program searches.  I've also tried the Microsoft Fix-it program and almost everything.  Uninstalling the updates did not help.  Can anyone help me out?

    based on what you wrote this  doesn't make sense
    use system restore to rollback the machine prior to this update

  • Imac randomly freezes   fan runs loud

    Hello,
    My imac g5 randomly freezes. When it does freeze the fan kicks in and is very loud. This is a stock g5 Imac with no new software loaded. The only applications run on this machine so far are safari, and Mail. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong? I've had the machine for 2 months and it has run fine untill the last week of random freezes. Also does anyone know apples policy regarding replacement or repair? I do have applecare. any advice would be appreciated, thanks,
    Dan

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem. I've had it for a couple of months now. My iMac G5 (iSight) is only a couple of months old - I got one of the last ones just after the intel came out. The freeze occured loads with 10.4.6. I've just had it again with 10.4.7 - my first time since I updated with the full combined installer a few days back.
    I regularly repair permissions. I have run fsck from single user mode. I have run apple hardware test - no faults. I have checked/repaired the disk from the install disk - no faults. I have removed all external devices - I previously suspected it might be a USB hub causing the problem but no. I have not removed additional ram as yet - that is my next step though it pains me to be doing such things when I bought the computer from Apple and you would think they would have installed Apple approved/top quality ram.
    It is very weird behaviour. Never experienced it in all my mac owning days - and I've got/had a few. I had hoped it was a combination of 10.4.6 and the iMac G5 (iSight)... but the latest update has not fixed the problem. And I find it hard to believe it may be the RAM. Because surely RAM just doesn't fail that often?!? And like this?
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • IMac randomly freezing - any ideas?

    My computer started freezing out of the blue a couple days ago. Yesterday it happened 4-5 times in the morning and then didn't happen again until just now it froze once. I checked the system log and see this error ::
    Sep 15 13:36:45 localhost kernel[0]: AppleSMU -- shutdown cause = 3
    Any idea what that means?? I tried unplugging all my stuff, removing third-party ram....but I have no idea what that error means.
    Thanks.

    I just started getting lots of kernel panics in the last week. Took it to the Apple Store and they are replacing the logic board due to blown capacitors. I've had it for 2 years and it just went nutty on me. Take the back off your computer and look at the capacitors. If they are bulging or leaking, then take your iMac to have it repaired. There is a repair extension program for Rev A G5 iMacs....

  • IMac randomly frozen at grey Apple logo screen.

    Hi Guys,
    I need your help.
    My iMac randomly freezes at startup, at the grey Apple logo screen... some vertical black bars appears, the image is unclear and doubled. The round icon showing that the system is loading freezes. Some times, a black screen appears asking for the computer to be restarted.
    I need to power off the iMac for 7-8 times and then it comes to normal till the next boot.
    One time, a month ago, the same happened when I was already in leopard, but since then nothing. Now, in the last week, it's happening in 80% of the startups.
    Any idea?
    Thanks !!!
    Andrei

    1. Have you installed any third party RAM? If so try removing the third party RAM and install the Apple original RAM for testing.
    2. Disconnect all external devices during testing. This means hard drives, ipods, printers, scanners, and hubs.
    3. Boot to your install disk. Insert the install disk and hold down the "c" key at startup. Once it boots up select your language but instead of going through the install process go to the Utilities menu at the top select Disk Utility. Select your hard drive/Mac volume on the left then under the First Aid tab click Repair Disk. If that passes/repairs successfully Repair the Disk Permissions. Once this is finished go back to the Utilities menu, select Startup disk, choose your Mac OS X volume and click restart.
    4. If you are still having issues insert your original gray iMac install disk, restart and hold down the "d" key. This will boot you to the Apple Hardware Test. Run the Extended test.

  • Help me troubleshoot my iMac | random SPOD and freezes

    ok, I am 1 step away from literally throwing this iMac out the window, but maybe someone has got an advice before I do so.
    In the beginning of 2009, my iMac's harddrive went bad.
    I was able to rescue everything via target mode so no big deal. I went and bought a new harddrive for it and replaced it myself. I found a very good guide for the whole procedure and after that I installed a fresh copy of OSX 10.4 on it.
    Since then the system would start to do random freezes, sometimes for all running applications, and sometimes for just one or two simultaneously.
    The freezes normally lasts between 10 seconds to 4 minutes and I have so far (1 year later) not been able to discover any kind of logic/pattern in these freezes.
    Sometimes I can run a plethora of programs at the same time (iMovie, Photoshop, Quicktime, Safari, Pages etc) and everything goes fine for hours. Some times it will take me minutes to just launch Safari or Textmate.
    Now, it isn't as though I haven't tried doing anything about it, it just that so far nothing have worked out.
    Here is a list of things I have tried since it started in 2009
    - Running Repair Permissions (Disk Utility or holding down SHIFT when booting)
    - Running maintenance programs like Onyx, MacJanitor, Maintenance, iTools
    - Fixing font issues using FontBook, LinoType and FontNuke
    - Replacing/Upgrading RAM (I went from 1gb to 3gb)
    - Testing RAM with memtest
    - Running Disk Warrior
    - Disabling various processes/services (spotlight/mds etc.)
    - Uninstalling/upgrading/downgrading programs (mostly programs that I use alot like Firefox and Safari)
    - Upgrading the OS (first to Leopard, and then to Snow Leopard)
    - Re-installing OS X (I have tried different combinations like re-installing to Tiger, then upgrading to Leopard and SL, re-installing to Leopard without upgrading etc.)
    There might be more but I really cannot remember.
    Of course my focus has been mainly on the harddrive itself since this was the piece that got replaced, but everytime I run Disk Warrior or Onyx or any other diagnostics app I have come across, I am told that the harddrive is doing fine.
    In the middle of 2009 I then created a 50gb partition on which I installed Win XP. This was because of some work related software that I needed to run. Now, on Win XP I have yet to experience any problems relating to the one I have on OSX. (Of course there are problems with Win XP, but none of them were relating to my specific issue here).
    So as it is right now, and have been for too long, I'm better off running Win XP than I am running SL, and that just ****** me off..!
    Does anyone here have an idea about what to do next?
    I have thought about buying a new harddrive to replace the initial replacement drive, but if that is the only choice I have left, I would rather save up for a new iMac instead.
    I have already spent more than enough trying to fix this one.
    Here are some details about the system:
    Model-id: iMac5,1
    Processor name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor speed: 2.16 GHz
    Processors: 1
    Cores: 2
    L2-buffer: 4 MB
    Memory: 3 GB
    Bus speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM-version: IM51.0090.B09
    SMC Version: 1.9f4
    OS Version: 10.6.2
    Some of these are roughly translated by me from Danish.
    Thanks to the people still reading this.

    Hi Kguy,
    Thank you for the reply.
    The freezes happens when opening programs and when running them. And it happens with (as far as I know) all programs on the computer (including TimeMachine, Dashboard apps, Finder, login in/logging out etc.)
    As far as I know this is not related to my network, but I will try you suggestion and disconnect the computer fully before running programs on the computer.
    Sometimes when the freezes happen, everything on the computer freezes, even the seconds on the clock.
    And if I am watching something in Quicktime/VLC/DivX and a freeze happens. After the freeze is over Quicktime will then resume x amount of time later in the movie. Where x is equal to the amount of time the froze lasted.
    Hope this helps clarifying

  • IMac 8,1 Random Freezing

    Hey guys,
    My computer has started randomly freezing in the past few months. As I'd migrated from a MacBook with a lot of crap on it, I tried a reformat, but to no avail. I also thought it might be my RAM as I ran Memtest and it came up with errors, so I replaced my 2 Gb of RAM with 4 Gb of RAM. It was fine for a while, but now the freezing has started again.
    Here's a log of a period in which it crashed. I can't pin point exactly where, but I think it might be from 4:59 to 5:00.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers,
         Thomas.

    Hi Tom,
    Unexpected EOF implies you need a Disk Repair or Reinstall.
    IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero implies a Graphics problem, haven't nailed all the causes ye, but often associated with Multiple screens.
    Sorry, I don't have time to really study the log further at the moment, ut hopefully one of the other freat helpers here will pipe in.

  • Random freeze crasch an repeated warning sound on iMac OSX 10.6.8

    I have a one year old iMac intel Core i5 running on Mac OSX 10.6.8
    It randomly freeze, crasch an gives a repeated warning sound. Very scary!
    Spoke to support and I have checked that the RAM are properly installed. Still crasch.
    I've also restored the SMC. Still crasch.
    Finally I spent the whole weekend reinstalling the system from scratch. Last step after restoring all content and programs I copied my Firefox data.
    Once again the systen freezed/crasched.
    I'm broken. Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Hi,
    Since you have reinstalled OSX have you tried a hardware test?

  • IMac (i3 2010) random freezing and now with 3 beeps

    Hi I have a 21" iMac i3 base model with 8Gb of Ram (see below).
    Ever since I got the mac about 10 months ago it has been randomly freezing up, becoming completely unresponsive to any input (keyboard mice etc), and can only be fixed by a hard reboot (holding down power button).
    It can happen while I am away at lunch and I come back to find it frozen on the screen saver. Other times I'm just browsing the web (nb has happens with safari, firefox, and chrome). While others times I have been using the system to its fullest. There never seems to be a reproducible way of triggering it. I can go for a week without issue, and then it can happen 6+ times a day, and they go back to being fine again for awhile. Although it has been getting progressively worse over time and more constant.
    I have tried repairing permissions (disk utility and onyx). Defraged the drive (drive genius), run TechTools pro and it passed all the tests. I don't have access to the orginal disks (work iMac) so running the AHT is not possible, as is a clean instal.
    I updated to 10.6.8 this week, and now when it freezes, it is now accopained by 3 loud beeps...pause...3 beeps etc etc.
    This suggests that it could be a memory problem, but I have never had a problem during the boot up process, and as I said it has passed the memory test on both TechTools6 and Rember, I'm not sure if this is the case.
    Because the system completely frezzes, there is no log or error reports created, meaning that pin-pointing the issue or even having proof for the tech-guys/Apple is difficult.
    Has anyone got any suggestions on a fix, or how I might be able to get an error report, or how I could induce the problem on que.
    Thanks heaps

    Ok so it definitely appears to be the RAM. I have found a way to reproduce the crashing....Running Prime95. Its normally takes about 15-30min on the stresstest to get the system to lock up.
    But here is the strange thing. It only seems to work if I have the full 8Gb installed.
    I have run each 2Gb stick by itself without issues.
    And then run 6Gb, changing the empty slot each time, and again no crashing.
    I found the following thread also has similar issues, with the RAM the most likely cause.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15610565#15610565
    I can discount USB,wifi,bluetooth as I tried this and still managed to get a crash.
    But I did have screen sharing on so I am now testing if I can run the 8Gb with this disabled.
    Will report back with my findings.

  • Random freeze of iMac with Tiger 10.4.5

    Hello, since a few weeks my iMac freezes almost regular but I can not say if it is due to an application or anything else as it happens complete random. Sometimes it happens after a few minutes, sometimes after hours but in 8 of 10 "on times" the Mac freezes. I can only turn him off...
    Does anybody know if there is a way to track last actions and investigate what the reason for these freezes are?
    Thanks in advance. KM
    iMac 800Mhz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Open the Console app in the Utilities folder. Click on the Logs icon in the toolbar to open the sidebar logs list. You can examine the console and system logs as well as any crash logs to see if you can find anything helpful.
    If your random freezes occur only when using a particular application, then there may be a bad preference file associated with that app. If the freezes are occuring almost always when you use Safari, then there are some things you can try. If the freezes are accompanied by a kernel panic alert, then there are other things to consider.
    In the meanwhile it cannot hurt to do the following:
    Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • IMac keeps freezing randomly

    Hi guys, bit of an issue has developed today. I hadn't really used my iMac for a few days and when I came to use it today it is being extremely slow and keeps freezing and showing the loading beach ball.
    I have tried checking for updates, rebooting, checking info on the activity monitor and nothing seems irregular. No single process is above around 10% CPU usage. While doing anything at all on the computer, even typing this post, the iMac is freezing momentarily every ten seconds or so. iTunes is also playing music, or at least trying to, and is freezing at the same time. This is incredibly annoying and I have absolutely no idea what has caused this but it essentially means my computer is unusable.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I have found multiple posts on similar things but none of them seem to offer any conclusive fixes.

    Thanks for the advice. Here's a log from two different times when it beachballed:

  • Itunes 9.02, Snow Leopard and iMac 24 - FREEZE UP!

    I have 4 mac machines in the home and this problem is only affecting the iMac 24. From reading multiple forums, I can safely say that I am not the only one. iTunes freezes sort of randomly during playback, store browsing, podcast etc...
    The only thing I can do is a hard reboot. After I reboot my local Disk needs to be repaired with Disk Utility as the directory counts do not match. I have used the install DVD to repair my main disk over 10 times now.
    I have tried all the suggestions on the forums including:
    removing plugins
    Re-installing iTunes (multiple times)
    Rebuilding library
    removing SyncServices directory
    disabling genius and home sharing
    and more
    This problem seems to have started after the installation of iTunes 9
    I am usually a very happy Apple customer but this has been quite the frustrating experience. Can someone acknowledge this issue at Apple so that I can rest assured that a patch will fix this at some point?
    I am out of ideas and search engines to look for answers. Any feedback on this thread is appreciated.

    I am reporting exact same problem on iMac 24" (3.06GHz/Mac OS X 10.6.2/iTunes 9.0.2).
    iTunes randomly freezes, leaving only the spinning beach ball. Sometimes, if left alone for several minutes, it'll report "iTunes library files cannot be saved (-50)" error. Alas, clicking "OK" to dismiss the dialog window only results in the same message popping up again and again. In all cases of iTunes' freezing and the ensuing beach ball, the Dock seems to go awry, too. The application switcher (command-tab) won't show and clicking on the dock will only freeze it; But, the menubar clock somehow still runs.
    After a hard restart, which I am so weary of after having done so many during the last couple of months, iTunes always goes through the long "Checking iTunes library" process before starting up again.
    I can't seem to pinpoint the pattern for these freezes.
    For now, I have disconnected a Western Digital My Studio II external hard drive used for Time Machine per some online discussion about the lack of Snow Leopard support for that drive by Western Digital and have tossed iTunes' preference files. I'm not ready to rebuild the library file just yet.
    At any rate, I hope someone can give us a clear answer. Thank you.

  • Late-2009 iMac elusive freezing when uploading video

    Hey All,
    So I am currently experiencing a freezing problem when I try to upload youTube videos through firefox and/or safari after... a checkered past. Hopefully this isn't TMI, just being thurough to save your valuable effort.
    iMac Details:
    21.5-inch, Late 2009
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3
    ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
    OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    I am using bootCamp with windows 7
         -fyi i did have w7 virtual RAM manually defined (properly or so I thought) and have since reverted to cpu defined vram.
    Funny part is when I was exporting a video from iMovie while simultaniously mixing tracks on virtualDJ while playing a youtube video, everything was fine. Now the history...
    1. Trouble started when I was getting the 'click of death' and the 'beach ball of death' seemingly at random while running various apps one at a time.
         -I reset my PRAM
         -I was and am still totally unable to run AHT (superdrive is dead and all key comands do nothing)
         -I verified disk permissions (there were a lot of errors so I repaired them)
         -I verified the disk (it passed), I repaired the disk even though it didn't need it.
         -I downloaded, installed and ran MemTest. (passed 100%)
         -I determined that I might have a kernal extension problem so I deleted Virtual Box and that seemed to calm things down... for awhile.
    2. So there was peace in the galaxy for a couple months until after running in my windows partition I tried multiple times and could not boot into my OS X partition.
         -I again reset PRAM
         -I again verified and repaired disk permissions (all went fine, tho agian there were many permission errors)
         -I again verified and repaired the disk (even though it passed)
         -I safe booted, it worked
         -I booted into OS X, it worked.
    3. Now, I can restart OS X whenever I want but hard freezing (finder is not responding and refuses to relaunch) still occures when uploading video to youTube having tried multiple browsers.
         -Before when it froze Activity Monitor showed no disk activity, and plenty of realMemory was available.
         -I haven't actaully gotten a read form Activity Monitor when trying to upload. I will tho.
         -I have been unable to find any 'memory leaks' tho I may not understand how to track this
         -My bootcamp partion is totally fine and I've since allowed the CPU to define vram
         -Memtest just now passed all tests.
         -I have had to do hard restart several times while trying different internet browsers.
         -My OS X partition has 344.22 GB free of 1.35 TB.
         -I have no external hardware plugged in, only a USB keyboard and mouse.
    So, a few questions...
         1. Did my manual addition of Virtual RAM on my bootcamp partition mess up my ram? if so why does it still test okay?
         2. Do I have to run memtest as the root user to get a real read on my ram? I haven't done this, yet.
         3. Why do I still get freezes while uploading video even tho when I try to max out my memory usage everything runs fine, no freezing?
         4. Is my hardrive messed even tho it passes checks when I'm booted to an external recovery drive?
         5. Is Apple trying to tell me they want more of the money I don't have anymore because I bought this thing 5 years ago?
    Ya'll are heros for even trying. You knew that. I'm just reminding you.

    So, I've been attempting to solve the issue by using diskUtility to erase free space on my mac and bootcamp partitions to identify bad drive sectors. Unfortunately erasesing free space did not work after defrag on the bootcamp partition. It simply crashed.
    Intitally on the OS X partition I did successfully erase free space and that improved all problems for about 3 days. Then freezes became random and increased in regularity. So I moved about 500GB of data to an external drive (the important stuff) and tried to erase free space again to make it identify bad sectors. So I've tried both booting into my external and recovery drive and having the utility erase free space. Both atempts failed when the utility simply gave up after 2hrs and would no longer recognize the drive. I'm booted into my mac partition right now and am gettimg more random freezing with 2/3 of the drive free.
    I'm resigned to claiming warranty and replacing the drive after upgrading it about 2yrs ago but can't find any real info on what my model and serial number are. All info that I've found does not seem to direct me to the correct information as I've tried entering it into Seagate's website and it will not accept my input. Any advice on claiming on my Seagate warranty and possibly what the model and serial number should look like? I can't seem to find the right numbers.
