Imac Shutting Down on its own

Hi all. I've got an iMAC Intel running snow leopard. Today it shut down twice on me while i was on the internet. There was no warning and I had to switch it back on manually. I've had a look in the system log (as this is about the limit of my knowledge) and the following is an extract from roughly the time it occurred. It means nothing to me, but hopefully someone out there know?...any help greatly appreciated.

My iMac was doing something similar before it died completely. Motherboard fried. Mine was also an Intel iMac. I hope yours doesn't suffer the same fate.

  • Late 2012 27" iMac Shuts Down On Its Own?

    Over the last week I have been experiencing random power outages on my iMac. These outages would occur typically while I'm playing games (FIFA 15, GTA V) on my Windows 8 partition via Bootcamp. These games are being played within graphics card limitations and do not have any running issues. Although, the power outages can be predicted if the game begins to suffer framerate issues.
    It has occurred twice while using Yosemite OSX as well.
    Once the power is out, the iMac won't restart unless I remove the plug and put it back in the power outlet. I am using a good quality power surge protector, and I have alternated between wall outlets and surge protectors. The issue has persisted regardless of this.
    What can be done in order to fix my issue? Is there a hardware issue?

    Thank you for your help. I still did not find an issue and moved over to the Bootcamp section of the forum to address my concerns.

    Hello mb_bernhardt,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that your Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer is giving you a Printer Failure message and then the printer shuts down.  
    I’ve included the A 'Printer Failure' Message That Might Include an '0x610000f6' or '0x61xxxxxx' Error Code Displays o... document.  If the error message that you’ve received includes an Error code there is one set of instructions to follow, and if there is no Error code  there is another set of instructions to follow.

  • Mac Pro shut down on its own, then on boot up it beeped steadily for 2 min?

    I put my 2009 Mac Pro to sleep then the next day I find it completely shut down! I boot it up and then I hear a steady beep (every second) for about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes the beeping went away.
    Any idea what caused Mac Pro to shut down on its own? And what does the steady beeping mean? The beeping is coming from inside the Mac Pro's speakers, not from my BOSE 5 computer speakers.
    I don't think there was a power outage as the UPS is fully charged, and I asked a neighbor across the street.

    I wasn't clear in my description, it's a steady continuous beep, it's a rhythmic beep -- it'll do this for 200 beeps or about 2-4 minutes.

  • Mac mini shut down on its own, will not restart, grey screen, spinning wheel. Unplugged everything, will still not restart. Did safe boot, will not restart after safe boot, only grey screen with spinning wheel.

    Mac mini shut down on its own. Could not restart, chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Unplugged everything but monitor, still only chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Started in safe boot, shut Down, will not restart.
    This happened a couple of months ago, unplugged everything and it restarted, now that won't work.

    Hi BDAqua,
    I just did the repair as you suggested. T ran the disc repair, and twice it cam back, the volume macintosh seems ti be okay, I also ran the verify and permissions repair, both came back okay.
    I was actually hoping that they would find something, so they could repair. I shut the computer down, and restated with out holding a key, and I started up great. I'm baffled.  I have moved 20 GB to an external hard drive, as I only had 10% open space.
    I have Tech Tool 6, would you recommend to run a repair check on that, or just leave well enough alone.
    I agree with you on the new Mac's, I have problems with no disc for back up, until they realize their mistake I will stay with Snow a Leopard. This is the first problem I have experienced, so I can't complain. Their last programs are not as perfected as under Steve, prior to his handling over the reins, hope this is not going to be the future we can expect from Apple.
    I will wait to here back as to your suggestion regarding the Tech Tool check
    Thanks for all your help.
    Gratefully,
    Cheri

    Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
    Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
    Was it online prior to this incident happening?

  • Macbook Pro 2010 upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite keeps shutting down on its own

    I upgraded to OS X Yosemite about a month ago, I have a macbook pro 2010, and in the last two weeks it started shutting down on its own. At first when i'd wake it, the fan would come on loudly and then it would shut down. In the last couple of days, I would make sure all programs were shut when it wasn't in use and then put it to sleep but every time i'd return it would be shut down and need a hard restart. If i just pressed the on button lightly it wouldn't start. And when i turn it on the fan comes on immediately. I'm a publisher so I'm working in indesign and illustrator a lot but I keep a constant look out for my memory and this isn't the problem. I'm working to a deadline here and can't afford to lose my computer for 3 days in the mac store (I live in Barbados) to get it fixed. Any advise?
    Thanks

    Is the little LED on your adapter's MagSafe plug glowing when it's connected? What color?
    It sounds as though your battery is drained and the adapter isn't charging it. Try resetting the SMC:

    That may start the battery charging again.

  • Mail shuts down on its own

    Seems like mail is shutting down on its own several times a day.  Any one have this problem

    Other people have had the same problem. See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17337738#17337738
    Be sure to quit Mail before moving or deleting any Mail-related Library files!
    I'd also advise having a recent backup before moving/deleting any Library files.
    As you may know, your user Library is hidden. To see it: in the Finder, hold down the Option key and, under the Go menu, choose Library.
    Note that the advice in that thread is from OS X 10.5. Things are in different places now, plus you probably have more than one file called Envelope Index (with different suffixes).
    Your Envelope Indexes are now in YourUserLibrary/Mail/V2/MailData
    Mail's caches are now in YourUserLibrary/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Caches
    You might want to try either the Envelope Indexes or caches first, not both at the same time, in case the problem is only with one.
    If you do as advised in that thread, Mail will re-create your Envelope Indexes and/or caches (you'll have to "import" all your messages, which is just Envelope Index re-creating its index). If all works well after that, you can then remove the old caches and/or Envelope Indexes.
    Please let me know....

  • 5310b shuts down on its own

    How come my Nokia 5310b shuts down on its own?  It's a new phone and the battery is charged.

    The only indicator I get when my phone will be shut down is a sign I get next to the batter sign.  The sign looks like a yellow envelope and it rotates.
    When I don't get that sign, the phone works fine.
    Also, usually when I see that sign, the phone does not lock itself up, otherwise it locks up, which is normal.
