Just wondering because I was playing 4x4 EVO 2 on my iMac, and whenever I would go to play online it would lock up. I would force quit EVO and then the Mac wouldn't reset or power off without me holding the button.
Is there any chance of this doing any short or longterm damage to the computer? I heard somewhere it might cause some damage to programs but can't do any hardware damage. Just to be on the safe side, yesterday I reinstalled the whole system, and 4X4 worked first time when I went to play a network game. Baffles me why it was freezing in the first place, unless there was a problem with an extension or something. Any help is appreciated, but I just got this computer and I don't want it going kaput on me for at least three years :). My basic question is, do you think I did any damage to it, short or long term by having to turn off the computer by using the power button. I did this probably half a dozen to ten times. --Michael Ryan -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
