This evening while browsing Facebook on Chrome my iMac froze. No spinner and no mouse action.
Restart with the power button gave the start-up sound and you can hear the disk ratlle. That's it.
No sign of life on the screen. Pressing a key gives a sound but nothing happens.
It's an Intel iMac 17" dualcore 1.8ghz. Last month I replaced one of the 512mb cards for a 2gb.

yep, that's the one. I'm not really interested in the latest iMac. I prefer the model before, I'm not ready to live without a dvd-drive.
My wife ordered new glasses so funds are low now.
I'll find a way, may take a while but I'm determined to get it running again
