Crashed and this screen appeared

[PHartnett]

I'm not sure what it means (i know it can't mean anything good!), it happened on a 24in iMac 2.8GHz model.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Yeah, but then it happened again about 45 minutes later. Just wondering if its an issue with the graphics card or the ram or just a common crash. First time it ever crashed in 2 years haha.

It looks like an issue with the graphics card. Though that is only a guess. If you have Applecare I would take it to Apple, since it looks like it is a reoccurring problem.

My 27 " i7 has given me that exact screen just once, other weird screens several times. It was the graphics card according to Apple Care. It is fixed now and all has been OK for 2 months.
