Yesterday my iMac shut down and also went to sleep a few times. I'm thinking overheating/the logic board?
Any idea how much a repair might cost if becomes a problem? It's been fine today.

I seem to remember Leaping Badger posting a link to a site that did fixed-price repairs depending on the model of your Mac - what model is yours? I don't know where the link is, but I'll head off and have a look for it next time I'm on.

A bit of Googling found this place: http://www.diycomputers.org.uk/piknfix.htm (Sorry about the colours... 
)
They claim they'll fix any Mac for £85 + parts, including collection from and delivery back to your door. It's not the one that was originally recommended to me, and I haven't tried them myself, but it sounds like a fair deal as long as they don't gouge you on the parts pricing.
Key: Complain about this post
