iMac 27” 2014 Screen Shuts Off During Game

As my iMac Retina 27” 2014 with AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB startet to suddenly switch off the screen, especially while playing a full screen game, I started to look for the cause and a solution.

Thinking it might has to do with temperature I started to research. The black out doesn’t seems to have to do with cpu %. To search further I installed https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/ and found out, that the screen turns off when the GPU Die temperatur climbs around 100 °C. So what to do against that? Next was to install TG Pro an App you can use to manually (or automatically) turn on the fan.

And: Bingo! As I started to start the fan and cool down the GPU Die, the iMac stopped shutting down the Screen.

Amazon Drive Nutzung – Welche Dateien sind erlaubt?

Nachdem Amazon die unbeschränkte Nutzung des Amazon Drives eingeschränkt hat, kündige ich halt meinen Plan und nutze die in Prime kostenlose Foto Funktion.

Nach einem wahnsinnig langen try and error habe ich jetzt (einigermaßen) eine Liste der Dateien, die erlaubt sind:

*.jpg; *.JPG; *.CR2; *.ORF; *.tff; *.tif; *.jpeg; *.JPEG; *.dng; *.RW2; *.gif; *.GIF; *.png; *.PNG; *.bmp; *.BMP

Was bei mir nicht erkannt wird sind meine .RAW Dateien aus meiner Panasonic Kamera!
