My budget doesn’t allow me to get anything more because my car also needs repairs (I think I’m cursed of something with all this bad luck). 2017 21.5” iMac with 8GB of RAM and Fusion Drive.This would lead me to think that this is the GPU problem for sure.Īt this point, I’m thinking about heading to the Best Buy and getting one of two options: I also tried the CMD+R key combination three times when I turned on my iMac, but it wouldn’t let me get into Recovery Mode - it would just continue trying to load the OS as normal before the white screen happens again.

Today of all days though, I can’t even log in without the display going crazy and the computer restarting. Recently I installed a new SSD in there and Boot Camp with Windows 8.1. I am the second owner of a used mid-2011 iMac.
