My imac spontneously shut down

Hello,
Just last night my imac (2007, 2.8ghz extreme, 10.8.3) just shut down (All that was open was 360Connect – I was watching a movie on my xbox). I tried to boot the machine back up this morning, but it only got as far as the grey screen with the grey apple when the fans started whirring and it wouldn't go any further.
I ran Disk Utility and, though there were a few issues, all were fixed and none seemed out of the ordinary. Apple Hardware Test reported no faults.
I tried a few times to get the mac to book, but each time it only got as far as the grey apple screen.
Ran AHT again, no faults, pressed the restart button and we're up again!
I have had to replace the power supply a couple of times over the eyars, and I feel like it's the culprit again now. Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions.
Cheers,
Kev.

Hello.
The computer's been on all day (albeit in sleep mode) and I just reset the SMC ... all seems okay. However, I just had a look in teh Console app, at the time when the imac crashed last night. Here's the message (ust wonder if it points to anything):

  • How to track down an app that is preventing my iMac from shutting down

    Hello! I lately discovered that an application is preventing my iMac from shutting down . I have The Sims 3 installed on my computer but i don't think it's preventing my computer from shutting down.
    So my question is, how can I find out what app is preventing my iMac from shutting down.

  • Another iMac Randomly Shutting Down!!

    Hey Everyone. I'm new to the forums, though i've always used them as a resource over the years to learn more or troubleshoot issues. Hopefully, now, someone can help me with mine personally.. :-/
    I have an intel 2.8gH Aluminum iMac that I purchased fall of 2007. Only now, almost 2 years later is it suddenly (just started yesterday) turning off randomly. Everytime it will not allow me to turn it back on until a minute or so has passed. I have reset the SMC as well as the PRAM several times. This afternoon, it is now to the point where I cannot even keep it running long enough to download an app to up the fan speeds. Although, I don't think it is overheating in the first place.
    I'm really hoping it is just the power supply, as I've seen that be the fix for SOME iMacs i've found at other online forums. Though, the upper corner of my iMac is not hot or smelling burnt out at all. I have found more than several online forums of people complaining about their iMacs randomly shutting down, and am praying it is not the logic board, as that is a $900+ fix.
    please, someone give me insight to how i can check if its the power supply or something else? I use this iMac for recording all of my music, editing video, and (of course) playing WoW lol. Currently using my 1st gen macbook.

    I bought my iMac 20" in May 2006. I had been very impressed with it until one day I shut it down to move it to another room. I could not get it to turn back on. I had to leave it unplugged for a few hours. Since then it has started randomly shutting itself down, turning itself off and not starting up again until I unplug and leave it unplugged for a few hours. I had purchased the Apple Care? Extended Warranty, and the fault occurred during this three year period, though I failed to take the fault seriously and did not phone during the period. It was just after the three year warranty that I phoned Apple Care? about it and everyone I spoke to said they had not heard of this problem occurring. I wonder now, why the Apple Customer Service Team don't visit the discussions.apple.com where they will find quite a significant number of like problems occurring with the iMac sold in 2006.
    My reason for paying the nearly triple price point for an Apple Computer was the quality of the build and my expectation that I would get far longer life out of my purchase. I don't like buying throw away products and I gladly save and wait longer to buy better quality products. Just as an example and point of reference. In 2000 I purchased a second hand Dell with 8GB HDD and 256Mb RAM. I paid $1000 for it and I gave it to my father when I got this iMac and he still has it running today. It has not had a single hardware issue in nine years. Good luck I suppose. However, after spending around $3000 on this iMac, and Apple now telling me the Logic Board is generically, non specifically 'failing', it goes against my pure desire for non disposable, throw away products to buy another Logic Board for AUS $1064. For one, I don't believe it has given me anywhere near the life that I expected from a product with such a high price point and solid reputation for quality, nor do I feel confidence in buying anything more 'Apple' after the dealings I have had with them over this problem. I am amazed that Apple would sell a 'failing' Computer to their customers and then expect that the customer will spend more money, considerably more, on a product that may be equally faulty and that they will not stand behind either.

  • Trying to add our Epson 4800 after updating 10.8.3. our iMac is shutting down and so is our Mac Book Pro.

    Trying to add our Epson 4800 after update 10.8.3 our iMac is shutting down and so is our Mac Book Pro. Any advise??

    Thank you Linc. We just half solved our problem. The update 10.8.3 has a bug for using our printer with a special kodak proback firewire cable by don't giving a support. So we skipped the old way by downloading a new driver,
    using an USB cable and adding our printer again and it works. The reactions of collegues and those on the Apple site showed us that the update 10.8.3 is having a major problem.

  • AirPort Extreme powers down when iMac is shut down

    9-month old AirPort Extreme, with two hardwire connections: one to the DSL modem, and one to an iMac. After months of perfect performance and reliability, the AirPort extreme now completely powers down as soon as the iMac is shut down or goes to sleep. It powers back up with the iMac. Logging out the iMac to another user account does not shut down the AE.
    Naturally, we checked the electrical supply for all three devices and they are all plugged into a perfectly ordinary surge supressor strip.
    We're thinking the AE has a hardware failure...but what kind of bizarre symptom is this that it shuts down when it loses signal from it's only Ethernet client?

    This is certainly odd. Have you tried a different port on the AEX?
    It may be best to contact Apple about a warranty exchange.

  • IMac G5  shuts down unexpectedly

    Hi friends at Apple Discussions,
    This week my iMac has shut down by itself unexpectedly about once a day. Immediately after it shuts down it will not start up, although after a 10 minute wait or so, it will start up and run just fine. Nothing had been changed, hardware or software, recently that should have caused this.
    It is a Rev A machine. Serial number is QP507XXXX. Within the first 6 months of ownership, she had a power supply failure that was repaired under warranty by an Apple Retailer. Everything has been great since then.
    I understand that this might be another Rev A hardware failure issue and I believe I am still inside the three year repair window. However, I also understand that there are often preliminary steps to take before jumping to that conclusion.
    Any advice as to what action should be taken next? I appreciate your expertise.
    James
    iMac G5 1.8 GHz 20" Rev A 768 MB RAM (Crucial).   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iBook G4 12"

    Status report...
    In previous posts I did not mention that I am not under AppleCare. The tech was willing to help but suggested that I might try isolating/replicating the problem on my own. Otherwise, if I take it in and they find it is a software issue, not the hardware issue, I get charged.
    His suggestion: Try an archive and install for a couple of days, see if problem still occurs. That will determine if it is a hardware or software problem. Actually, I believe I'll do a clean install instead for a couple of days, as my entire hard drive is cloned & bootable on my external LaCie drive. This is an inconvenience and steals my time, but its easy enough to do, I guess.
    So I'll do it, but the question lingering in the back of my mind is...is this actually necessary? Does software shut a machine down randomly and prevent it from booting up again for the duration of some unknown 'cooldown' period? Besides, the only software change I have made relativly recently was installing Camino I am highly skeptical that its a software issue. But because I am not an expert, I will follow the suggestions.
    Any comments on this?

  • IMac randomly shuts down after Leopard Upgrade

    My wife's iMac randomly shuts down since we installed Leopard. It wasn't doing this before the Leopard upgrade.
    It takes about 5 mins. of inactivity after the machine enters sleep mode, then it shuts down. We've searched the Discussions but have yet to see an answer to our question. Nothing but an iSight is plugged in to the machine. Any suggestions?

    Same problem with random shut downs that get more and more frequent making the computer unusable. Took to Apple Store where they did not recognise the problem - tried replacing RAM then power cable then power supply. Said problem was fixed but started to recur within a short time of using it back home. Used install discs to reinstall the original operating system (Mac OS X 10.5.2) and the problem resolved - on upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.8 the problem immediately recurred. Have gone back to 10.5.2 now and all seems okay.
    Seems strange that there are so many postings about this and Apple Store (Genius staffseem to be unaware of it as a problem).

  • IMac 27 shuts down at intro

    hello my iMac 27 shuts down at intro or when i trying to set it up ,i  think its Fan or HDD but not sure , maybe anyone knows where is a problem ?

    Is it an earlier iMac that came with say a 10.6 Install Disc?
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

    Hi Raydream ,
    Try another outlet in another part of the house
    Do you use a surge protector? do you have another surge protector to try? Just in case some thing is wrong with the surge protector your using. Also dose any thing else turn off or just the computer.
    things you can try:
    Make sure your software is up to date:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1338
    Verify your firmware is up to date:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1237
    reset the SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    reset NVRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    if your still having the issues I would back every thing up and then book an appointment for the closest apple store genius bar.
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    if there is no apple store near you i'd locate an authorized repair center:

    you can also call apple care (1 800 APL CARE)

  • IMac Randomly Shuts Down -Overheating Problem?

    I've posted in these forums once before about my iMac randomly shutting down. I believed I had solved the problem by following another users instructions which were as follows:
    "Machines that are just randomly shutting down are usually caused by defective hardware. The only thing that can be done about that is to call Apple and have it replaced or serviced. There is probably not any one particular solution as it could be any number of the internal components failing and the resulting symptoms could be the same.
    If you'd like to do some hardware tests yourself before calling Apple that can be done. First try resetting the SMC: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
    Next insert the original gray install disk, restart your iMac, then hold down the "d" key until it boots up into the Apple Hardware Test. Run the extended test.
    Also if you have Apple Care install TechTool Deluxe from the cd provided. Then run TechTool on your system."
    I also removed and replaced of a defective external HD that I thought my be causing problems. But after all these steps, the machine kept turning itself off.
    I had read in some forums that it was due to the internal temperature of the iMac. So I downloaded smcfancontrol 2.1 and increased the fan speed on the internal fans. This did bring down the temperature as revealed by the iStat Pro widget. However, I still had another shutdown.
    So I turned off the machine, went to bed, and this morning when I turned it on iStat Pro said these were the internal temperatures of the iMac:
    CPU A 77 degrees F
    GPU 85
    GPU Diode 88
    GPU Heatsink 85
    Ambient 61
    Memory Cont. 74
    Airport Card 112
    HD Bay 1 76
    I find these numbers to be unbelievable. Especially the airport card. When the whole system seemed to be running hot, the Airport Card said it was 122. It always says something above 100 degrees. The other temperatures also seem out of whack. How can the CPU be 77 degrees after 10 hours of being completely powered down in an office environment that is only 55 degrees?
    Has anyone else run into a similar problem?
    Has anyone else found the problem to be a faulty temperature sensor (and is there a way to reset it, or does it have to be replaced)?
    Overheated? in Oregon...

    Certainly sounds like a case of the left hand not knowing from the right, huh
    Well, I have my call in, and I am getting onsite service to replace the logic board, as per Apple's recommendation.
    I'm reading the other longer thread (171 replies), and it's disheartening to hear how some of the "geniuses" are handling this problem. They can't replicate it by leaving the mac running overnight, so "the problem doesn't exist". Hello! It's *random*! As in, not easy to replicate!
    I'm also a bit disillusioned that the popular Mac sites (TUAW, etc) haven't picked up on this story yet. I emailed TUAW the link to the long thread, and they ignore it. Usually when this gets more "mainstream" press, then Apple finally steps up, acknowledges a problem, and serious fixes are made. Right now, it's a bunch of complainers (me included) in some threads on the Apple site.
    I took a huge leap last November, and went from PCs to the Mac platform, after working on my personal migration plans for a month prior - how to move from my photo editing on the PC to the Mac (I wasn't about to buy another full copy of Photoshop, for eg, but I did find out I could upgrade from Win PS to Mac PS), if all the programs I use for photography and design were available on the Mac, learning the ins and outs of shortcut keys, how things are done, etc etc, and was so happy initially when I got the Mac and said goodbye to the PC.
    Now I'm literally afraid to do any serious work on the Mac for fear of the "pulled plug" syndrome losing the last 20, 30 minutes of work I've been doing because I didn't save every 2 minutes. And iLife's Pages doesn't autosave (much to my chagrin), so I've lost some long correspondence and articles typed because I didn't save it before the pulled plug o' death.
    Not a very nice computing experience.
    As a suggestion, maybe everyone reading this and the other thread can flood TUAW.com with a news suggestion to cover this problem. Engadget, Gizmodo too while you're at it. I think once these million-viewers a day blogs cover it, we'll see some real action from Apple.
    Just a thought....

  • IMac G5 shuts down instead of going to sleep

    Recently, my G5 iMac started shutting down instead of going to sleep. I have reset all of the sleep controls but it still shuts down. Does anyone have any ideas? I am running 10.5.5

    Have you vacuumed the fans and the air vents? You can also reset the [SMU|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300908] and check in Console>system log for any messages about "maximum temperature exceeded for 30 seconds".

    most likely caused by overheating due to video encoding increasing cpu usage (system freezing and shutdowns is a problem with older intel imacs). monitor your internal temps using an app like istat. temporary workaround is to use an fan control app like imacfancontrol and increase the cpu fan speeds. but this does not actually fix the problem which may arise more periodically as the system gets older.
