Hi I have an Intel iMac (2006 model) and it started doing the same thing.
Then it started slowing down, hanging and panicking. Then the internal hard drive stopped being recognised. Then it gave up the ghost permanently. The DC board burnt out - taking the hard drive and logic board with it. It may not be the case for you. Have you tried checking the disc in disk utility? repair permissions and verify disc. Also check the RAM is seated properly. Simon --- I haven't noticed any other oddities with this machine: no panics or slow running. It is a 20-incher from mid 2007 and has had a 300GB disk fitted by the previous owner. It is running 10.5.6 and has 3GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. It started up perfectly this morning but yesterday I had to use the off button to do a restart. It began doing this roughly two months ago.
