Back to life

A month ago or so I turned on my iMac and something weird happened. The screen stayed black as oil. Reset it and it did actually start to boot, but after a couple of minutes….. bam.. black screen. I could hear the fans still working but the machine died. Did some resets of NVRAM and stuff like that and I was able to boot to the console. Unfortunately, after examining the logfiles I found kernel panics loading the nvidia driver.
