Aye, it's a good job I bought the extended Applecare! I suspect the room temperature here is a lot warmer than in your place as it did do it a couple of times towards the end of the summer last year but I didn't relate it to being heat related.
Not a problem though, hopefully it's all sorted now. One thing I have to work out how to do though is to change the owner info as they asked for you when they called me earlier today to tell me it was fixed!
You'll notice they also swapped out the Airport card. You'll be thinking "what airport card?"
Well he changed the name and phone number when I collected it but said he can't do the address.
All seems good now, at least it's working and iStat menus is reporting the PSU temps at 40C and 47C which is somewhat better than the 65C/67C they were at before
Ive got a similar annoying issue with my old white C2D 24" iMac, unfortunately i dont know when i bought it and cannot remember if i got any extended warranty on it. Im thinking of taking it down to the Manchester or Trafford Apple store and see if a genius there can diagnose it... Ive got a feeling its the GFX card thats borked and a replacement looks quite hard to source and pretty damn expensive. Glad ive got a couple of spare Macs to use and since getting the WDTV i rarely used the iMac anyway.
