As posted earlier this week in here: My iMac has been running horribly since upgrading to Lion. Today alone i had 3-4 straight crashes. I even posted an error report on here (Which got no replies, same on Apple's site)

Some of the advice i got was to hardware test, because it wasn't the typical Lion "video freeze" crash most people have been getting. I ran it, and it passed. I'm still wondering about the possibility of hardware issues. So i'm curious, are these temperatures normal? (This is with a fan running directly on the left side of my iMac, keeping the side cooler, although the top is still hot)

Oops

Sorry, just saw the sig.file. I wonder if you might have a power supply issue, but have you tried running Onyx? It's a free download, just google for it.

Make sure you get the BETA Lion only version (it's fine and will repair a lot of things, also give you a detailed report on your systems status.:)
 
Look through your KP reports and pay attention to the loaded kexts. If the first few loaded kexts were from third parties, the KPs were possibly caused by the third-party kernel extensions.

Also, please pay attention to the hints at ECC errors.

Where can i find KP reports?

As far as full specs: 2.93 C2D, 8 GB RAM, 640 GB HDD

Also, what do i need to run in Onyx, specifically?

Thanks for the help, guys.
