Morning restart iMac 2017 goes to black screen for a second or two, and start OK. It hapened 2 day sin the row. Is this a sign of the HD go bad?
Thanks.

Hello,
You can use Drive DX to possibly get a better view of Drive health…
Amazing,HDD looks very good shape.
We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...
EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.
Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…
Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...
Thanks again for your support, BDAquqa. I got this result. What is the lifetime left (97%), and how long it will be before I need to replace the drive? It's actually amazing that the drive is 5 years old, and I read that the average is 5-7 years.
Since the drive is 100% healthy, what is the reason why the screen goes black, for a few seconds? One time it froze showing just the desktop sc reen and not loading anything. But.... when I touched the power button it started loading.
