As usual I used this old intel iMac for streaming music. I always put to sleep the screen. Suddenly I cannot wake up the screen but the music still playing.

I turn off the main power and see , the screen actually show the Apple logo and loading but later back to black out.
 
Without any details regarding your iMac model, it's likely failed GPU or backlight. Take flashlight and shine onto display, can you see image of desktop? Otherwise, it's the GPU. Again, w/out any details of iMac model, it's really tough to give advice.

Sorry for as I never input much details. This is Weird. Lucky my old intel seem working back. I turn off the main power again it seem back to normal. I feel is this old intel getting slow in the sense slow to wake up. Perhaps just now it seem cannot wake up respond.

I never update to latest OSX because I know once install it will be worst. One thing I noticed now the turn up chime seem gone weird..
 
OMG ... So what wrong? I test again it cannot wake up the screen whereas I still can listen the streaming radio. I always turn off the screen and it only play streaming music. Now is the screen cannot display out. Sorry for my poor written english hope you guys know what I mean.
