Hope you have a good backup.


Try Safe Mode, as per > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262


If that doesn't work?


Dig out the original install disc set that came with that iMac.

Startup from disc one and select utilities from the menu bar.

Open disk utility and see if you can repair your Macintosh HD.
