Many problems with iMac

[Joelouis07]

Hi, I have several problems with my iMac:

- When I click on any tab in the browser, the tab turns on and off rapidly

- At any time the display suddenly goes completely black.

- When I turn on my computer, when I try to type the password, after typing 2 or 3 letters, everything gets erased, I have to restart it

- Sometimes it won't let me turn off the computer

- It also causes problems with a music application I use (Pro Tools)

Some problems are sometimes solved by relaunching the Finder, but it only lasts a moment. I usually have to restart the computer.

I have run Norton several times and it doesn't find any viruses.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't know what to do anymore. Thanks

If you boot into recovery (Cmd-R at the boot chime), does it exhibit the same issues?

Nermal, since I run Cmd-R at the boot chime yesterday, I didn't have any issue. I hope this will continue. Thank you so much

Check in your Bluetooth connections, that you don't have an old keyboard connected, which might send key presses.

Same goes with continuity settings

Use Continuity to work across Apple devices

Use Continuity features to share and stream content, answer calls, and more across devices near each other.

AFAIK Avid Pro Tools, even latest version is not yet qualified for running on Sonoma. I've read about people doing it successfully, though. Also, your macOS v 14.3.1 has been updated many times. Latest now is 14.6.1
