My brand new mac is freezing

[Telp]

i have a brand new 24" 2.4 Ghz iMac with all the latest software updates, and its been great considering ive just switched over from the pc world. But im having one problem, which is that my computer is freezing about twice a day randomly. it happens with online use and when i use 3rd party downloads or just downloads in general. anything i can do?

make sure you have all the new updates installed. If it continues you might have to take it into apple to replicate the problem.

That's a pretty big problem. You say you've run all the latest software updates but are you actually using Software Update to do so? If so, and your machine is eligible for it, you will see the Radeon 2600 HD firmware update.

I agree with the poster above that if it still doesn't work after you're sure you have the latest firmware update that you should contact Apple for service/replacement.

Its been reported that sometimes that firmware update ends up in the utility folder and still needs to be ran just thought id mention that.

Pour some anti-freeze on the screen and wipe with a soft natural spunge.

If that doesn't work, always try the softwae update again.

Or call AppleCare and see what they say.

Try installing this update as a last resort:

Software Update should have done it for you, but try doing it manually.
