TopicI think my iMac is bricked. (no Apple or Mac OSX bashing here please).

So for the past 2 years almost, I've used Windows 10 exclusively because I do a lot of gaming on my computer now. I bought my high end iMac in late 2013. It was before I switched to PC gaming. Yes, I could have spent the money I used on the iMac to build a great gaming PC, but again, I wasn't too interested in it at the time and I didn't like Windows as much back then.

Anyways, I haven't used my iMac in weeks, but I have it in sleep mode. It'll update itself and all that.

Well, I just noticed a black screen with a circle and a line across it (). I don't know know what it's called. I hope my iMac is not bricked. It may have updated to the newest OSX by itself. But I doubt it considering I set my iMac to boot to Windows everytime I turn it on. Maybe it updated Windows by itself too, which I don't mind at all.

I'm looking into this right now and I really hope it is not bricked. I'm broke right now and can't afford a new PC. It would probably take me months with a part time job to buy a new one.

If it is bricked, I won't buy an iMac anymore. I'll just build my own PC or buy a high end gaming PC. I don't think I'd feel comfortable building my own PC to be honest. The reason why I won't buy an iMac anymore is because I switched to PC gaming, Apple products are ridiculously expensive, and I no longer dislike Windows. I only disliked Windows for a few years and had gotten bored of it.

Any advice? Do you think my iMac is bricked?

tl;dr: My iMac appears to be bricked.
