Mac OS X: version 10.4.11
About a month ago I started to experience a recurring problem with my iMac. Randomly, while I'm using my system (mostly Mail and Safari) the application seems to disappear and my screen turns all blue. It stays that way for up to a minute and then the application i was using returns. Sometimes it happens frequently, every 10 or 15 minutes or so, and other times I can go for an hour or more without a problem.
A couple of weeks ago, after calling Apple support and having them walk me through a couple of hardware reset routines (shutting down and removing all devices and pressing buttons and holding keys down during the boot process), I brought my machine to the "Genius Bar" at my local Apple store. They did an "erase and re-install" of the OS and all my applications. When that didn't fix the problem, I brought the machine back to them and they kept it for a couple of days and ran "Apple Systems Diagnostics" (ASD). It passed all the tests!
Since the problem persists, I am wondering what other steps i need to take to get my machine healthy again.
