IMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8) OS X :: IMac Screen Black. If it were a software issue, the reinstall of the OS should have fixed that? If it were a hardware issue, the AHT should have caught that? Am I stuck with a lemon? Just one of those bad pieces that are inevitable in any assembly line production? It shows the sliding bar and then back to reboot! Safe Mode boot is also not guaranteed to work. And now I gotta try the boot process like 15 times and it may boot correctly. Left it for a few hours to download the 'jumbo' patch from apple site, and now it is back to behaving the same way - it is stuck in a reboot loop! I dont know if it installed the patch or not, as soon as i touched any key to wake up the iMac, it rebooted (like before). I did the Apple Hardware Test (it reported - no troubles found), reset the SMC, PRAM - all to no avail.Âįinally, i reinstalled the OS from the DVD that came along with the iMac. It began to randomly shut down and got stuck in the reboot loop (sometimes, the problem was a reawakening after sleep, but even a simple shutdown/restart wouldnt guarantee correct behavior). I have a 6 month old iMac (bought Dec 2011).

So I booted from the install disc again and was going to reinstall Leopard, but I decided to restore from one of the pre-10.5.8 Time Machine Backups. I tried starting it up a couple of times after that and nothing had changed. Then I booted from the install disc and used disk utility to verify the disk and repair the disk permissions. So I tried booting it up in safe mode, but nothing changed it never got past the apple screen. It proceeded to turn itself off, and repeat the process, always getting stuck at the Apple logo screen.
Then I walked back in when I first heard the startup chime and the fans were running at 6000 rpm and the screen showed the Apple and the daisy wheel. So I did, and I walked out of the room after it started installing the update. Then this morning, I had disconnected the drive and decided that I ought to update to 10.5.8 because Software update had told me to the day before. I got a 1 TB Western Digital external last night and had left it on all night so that Time Machine could back me up a few times.
