iMac: Just a white screen - it could be because of that

If you see a white screen on your iMac, this is often nothing to worry about. In this practical tip, we have the best tips on what you can do about it.

iMac: White screen only - what to do?

• Try starting iMac in recovery mode. Press [command] + [R]. In the "Disk Utility" select "System Disk" and then "Check Volume". Activate the "Show details" checkbox and wait for the check to be completed.
• Alternatively, you can try to start the iMac in safe mode. Press and hold the [Shift] key while starting and wait for the iMac to start.
• There may also be a problem with your user account. Therefore, start the iMac in single user mode. When starting, press the key combination [command] + [S] and wait for the text to be completed.
• Then enter the command "/ sbin / fsck -fy" and confirm with [Enter]. Then wait for the process to finish. If an error message occurs, enter the command again.
• In many cases it can also help if you reset the iMac's P-RAM.
• Perhaps externally connected devices also cause this problem. Therefore, remove all devices that you do not need and restart the iMac.
