Hello!

Whenever the iMac is connected to WiFi/Ethernet, a minute after it has the spinning circle of doom. I notice the cursor starts spinning when I hover over the taskbar. I have to do a hard reset soon after trying to load anything else, as it completely freezes.

It runs perfectly fine if I don't connect the iMac to the router at all.

Is the network card faulty?

Another thread on here reported the same problem, but was resolved by updating to my version: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/imac-freezes-when-connecting-to-wifi-os-x-10-6-4.2043977/
