My new 5k, maxed out iMac started having video glitches, especially when playing Diablo 3. Then it quickly would reset itself, then it would boot into recovery mode but also then have video glitches and freeze then reset itself. THEN, internet recovery mode would load and then also glitch and restart itself.
At this point, the SSD also seems to have gone bad as I get the "no" symbol now upon trying to boot. And after resetting all smc, nvram, pram, whatever, it's basically bricked. This happened all in about a 30 minute period.
At first I thought it was a video card problem, but then when I couldn't boot to the SSD or recovery partitions, external OS backup, or internet recover, it seems to be muck deeper.
I have apple care, and it's only 2 months old. Has anyone seen this happen? Is there some known issue around a logic board or both the SSD and video card frying on a new 5k imac? Super super disappointing to drop 4000$ on this to have a total meltdown.
