[Leica] OT: sluggish iMac

[Adam Bridge]

Oh just STOP it, Jayanand. Aren’t we over this OS wars stuff? If it’s a hardware failure, and it sounds like it is to me, then any machine is likely to have something happen to it - especially after 7 years. 

Sheesh.

All seriousness aside, might take a look through the console logs and see if there are any telltale errors being reported during boot. Resetting the power controller for your machine might make sense as well - I’d have to look up the technique that’s relevant to the machine in question, however.

And it might be a RAM failure issue as well if something is mucking up the boot process. The Apple Store guys should have poked around at that but bad RAM can be tricky to find if its intermittent.
