Why is my iMac logging so many system crashes?

When I type in the command last in OSX's Terminal I get a long list of logins, reboots and shutdowns. However, very many of them - more than half - have the status crash instead of the logout/shutdown time. Thing is, my Mac hasn't crashed even once. My last shutdown earlier today has also been logged as a crash. What gives? Can it safely be ignored?
In the Console->system.log I get the Previous Shutdown Cause alternating between either 0 and 5 (most of them are 0). What do they stand for?
I should mention that I recently got my (late 2011) iMac's logic board replaced (old one just died on me, was covered by Apple care). However I did reformat and reinstall everyting after that, so I doubt the logic board is a factor.
Also, I do disconnect the iMac from the mains when it's not in use (as in, I switch off the UPS) due to frequent power cuts (I don't want the UPS beeping in the middle of the night). Could that be causing the PRAM / NVRAM / SMC or whatever to play up and thereby be causing all this? Though it has logged restarts as a crash many times too.
Any ideas about what is going on?

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

HT1750 why does my iMac log off wifi

Why does my imac keep logging off of wifi? Why cant i stream music?

Are you up-to-date on your software? Apple produced a fix in late February for this, which fixed it for many. Some have indicated, however, that it didn't solve it for them. If you can't download the fix via Software Update, it's located at

Why does Final Cut cause a hard system crash after upgrading computer's memory?

2x2.8 gHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon MacPro that orginally came with 2gBs of memory. We upgraded to 4gBs of memory by adding 2 1gB ram chips. Ever since, Final Cut Pro has been causing hard system crashes. Does anybody have an idea why this is happening?

Installing memory is very specific
the correct type of DIMMs must be installed in the correct slots dependant on the type of processor fitted
install exactly as per the Mac Pro guidelines here:
Mac Pro Memory DIMM Instalation
you will have to reload the web page a few times after the page warning to down load correctly (command R)
if it is per the instructions and your having trouble, the DIMMs are most likely faulty

Why is my iMac running so slow and crashing all the time?

My iMac is last years model, running on Lion OS X. It's one year old, I had it Christmas 2011. It's 1TB with 4GB RAM. It's partitioned with Bootcamp, Windows 7, so it's 100GB Win7 and 900GB OS X. I'm only using 350GB of RAM altogether.
It's started running ridiuclously slow. Firstly, it was just when I started to work with large files in Photoshop (CS5.1). I was attempting to work on a piece for college which size is A2 (594 x 420), but it was painfully slow, so I literally stopped working and started researching into how to improve performance. I deleted a lot of software that I didn't need, verified and repaired discs, nothing seemed to work.
Now Photoshop isn't the only problem. Certain websites aren't loading when they're working fine on my iPhone and on my iMac, such as Facebook, Google, but websites like Twitter and Gmail are working? I downloaded Avast and started to scan for a virus, but then the deadly annoying pop up saying "You need to restart you Mac, hold down the power button etc" popped up... I dunno what I'm supposed to do now, and I dunno why it's acting like this. It's been fine. Think it's a virus? I'm scanning now but nothing found as of yet.
If anybody knows what's going on, or if this has happened to them, please let me know! I know I could just book a Genius appointment and take it to the Apple store, but I have university interviews in a couple of days, no external hard drives to put my work on, and it's 27" which is hard to lug around town...
Thank-you.

CPU Panic Log for third time. System crashes...

Hello,
I have a 2.4 Ghz brand new macbook pro. It is my third computer, because every previous model has had processor panic logs. They have replaced my computer, almost no questions asked. However, the last time I went in, they tried to blame this on me, saying it was my software, so they would not copy any software to my new mac when doing data transfer (trying to remove themselves from the equation). This is obviously a large problem, and I am wondering if I should just return this one again, and ask for some form of extra reimbursement. I have driven back and forth, over 20 miles each way to get a new computer, and they continue to fail within 2 weeks of purchase. What to do? Here is the error log I have gotten.

OS X doesnt seem to like your hard drive. I took this gem from the developer pages
...the I/O Kit, an object-oriented driver development framework emphasizing modularity and reusability.
In Mac OS X, a driver for a mass storage device that mounts a file system or is bootable is a kernel
extension, or KEXT. This KEXT inherits much of its functionality from an I/O Kit family that
implements software abstractions common to all devices of a particular type.

System Crash

Recently, my MacBook Pro started crashing -- a darkened screen would drop down with a "restart your computer" dialog. When restarted, it would run smoothly sometimes, sometimes crash right upon restart, and sometimes run a bit before crashing again. I'm attaching the Panic.log file. Figured I'd hit the forum before I opened a case with Apple.
TIA

Machcne-c-eck capabilitieies

Replacement without grief was never a big concern as I have Apple Care. As someone who has written firmware in the past, I expect product owners that can decipher stack traces, to see what broke where, etc. I'm sure Cupertino has this capability. Genius Bar at the Apple Store is genuinely helpful, no doubt... I'm just the curious sort and hope repair tech from the Bar will give me a proper postmortem of the failure. For now, awaiting parts and this being the holiday weekend, we may not get the board till Tue. Updates then.
Thanks

I had pages installed on my mac but then my system crashed. When it was recovered the pages application was gone. Is there a way to recover it without having to pay for the app again?

I had pages installed on my imac but then my system crashed. When I got it recovered the pages application was gone. Is there a way to recover it without purchasing the app again?

I have the same issue with pages/keynote and numbers (iWorks). Came preinstalled when I bought the macbook air back in 2010 (Out of warranty). It crashed a couple of months ago so I took it to Apple but when I got it back the iWorks was no longer there. I cannot go back to Apple for a few months as there is no Apple store where I am currently.

Why has my iMac started to be slow logging on

Why has my iMac started to be slow when first logging on, is it anything to do with me upgrading to Mavericks from 10.7, and is there any way it can be rectified?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Why does my iMac appear many times in my network and labelled 1,2,3, etc

why does my iMac appear many times in my network and labelled 1,2,3, etc

Ok, I solved it.
I followed this steps:
1- Turn Off Wi-Fi from the Wireless menu item
2- From the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
3- Within this folder locate and select the following files:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
 com.apple.network.identification.plist
com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist 
NetworkInterfaces.plist 
preferences.plist
4- Move all of these files into a folder on your Desktop called ‘wifi backups’ or something similar – we’re backing these up just in case you break something but if you regularly backup your Mac you can just delete the files instead since you could restore from Time Machine if needed.
5- Reboot the Mac
6- Turn ON WI-Fi from the wireless network menu again

Why since installed Lion on my IMac it happened many times that my computer freeze and I have to restart everything before something work again?

Why since installed Lion on my IMac it happened many times that my computer freeze and I have to restart everything before something work again?

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..?
When my iMac goes to sleep I then later try to click the magic track pad or keyboard and it will usually then show the initial password entry login screen and then go off. The machine is still on but the display is black and will sometimes flash up the screen again if I press the magic track pad or keyboard but will then black out again..

Well, there are many different reasons why it does this. It might shut off due to power voltage problems, system overheats, or there is a System Problem. The reason it might be hard to boot up is because your power button might not work properly or your system hard drive is damaged.

Why is my iMac (12,1) so slow?

Problem description:
iMac 12,1
i7 2.8GHz
16GB RAM
Yosemite 10.10.3
Bootcamp (can boot into Windows 7)
This mac is slow. We don’t know why. A similar but older iMac in the other room has an i3 and 4GB RAM and it is much faster. Something isn’t right.

IMac logs me out and closes all applications while working

Hi,
I am facing a ridiculous problem now with my new iMac. I have been using if for a while now. Recently it has started showing this issue.
Issue:
While I am working on the mac, suddenly without any notifications or any actions being taken iMac logs out. It even closes all my open/working applications all of a sudden and takes me to the login screen.
When I log back in, it's like the system has been restarted/afresh. And I again need to open all my applications.
This has started from last couple of weeks, and happens once/twice each day.
Anybody have any clue why this happens? It has become a headache for me as it closes all my unsaved works too

Thanks for the reply baltwo.
Sorry that I missed to mention that. Before posting the question here, I searched the support forum and found a similar suggestion.
Unfortunately that is not the issue with me. I have checked that and that option
+System Preferences->Security->General and ensure log out after XX minutes of inactivity isn't checked.+
The logging out issue still persists. And I am unable to find the solution yet.

Why is my iMac logging so many system crashes?
