According to some reports from the internet (including topics in Apple discussion forum) and quoted by Appleinsider, some owners of the recently released iMac, featuring an ATI Radeon HD 4850 as GPU, experienced video problems. The system randomly and frequently freezes causing users to reboot their iMac. According to reports, this issue is not related to the software running at the time of the crash in Mac OS X. In addition, some owners reported to have experienced the problem while running Windows in a Boot Camp partition. The new iMac might be cursed as were the some of the first iMac Alu models launched in 2007, affected by some system slow down issues which were resolved by a firmware update. Let's hope that Apple will quickly find a solution, the fact that it does not affect all similar models indicates a possible bad production batch.
