Using Apple Hardware Test

application to help determine if there’s a problem with one of the computer’s

components, such as the memory or processor.

if you use them. If you have an Ethernet cable connected, disconnect it.

Restart your iMac while holding down the D key.

3

When the Apple Hardware Test language chooser screen appears, select the language

you want to use.

4

Press the Return key or click the right arrow button.

the onscreen instructions.
