iMac Random Shutdowns ? Something to worry about?

[Burohaima]

So , My iMac is on it's way (Will arrive in 6-7 Days .) , And I read that a lot of people are facing random shutdowns , Is this issue widespread ? Or does it only exist in a small percentage of iMacs ? Should I worry about it at all ? Thanks.

I've had mine for about 4 days now, with xp on bootcamp as well, and my iMac hasn't shut down by itself once yet, its been running crisp!

it seems like moooostly random shutdowns is because of heat issues.....so if you DO get shutdowns do a iStat pro or temp monitor and just check.....that or bad PSU (ive had both hehehe on old G5 no problem tho apple fixed it all right up yay)
