Please post system info: Help - System Info from the upper left menu items.

Are you getting a lot of fan noise when this happens? What you describe sounds like overheating. Check the vents on the iMac for any blockage. Dust could also built up inside the machine.

You don't lose anything when you re-install.

But ... computer freezing and restarting is not something that re-install will fix. The problem is either a bad/corrupted/buggy/out-of-date driver, or a hardware malfunction. Re-install your graphics driver, and run diagnostics on all of your hardware.

I am having the same exact issue since yesterday when updated LRC. My Imac freezes and crashes while editing.

I called Apple today, they suggested to reinstall the macOS which I did....Still freezing and crashing, this must be some bad bug from the new Lightroom version. And now my old Lr doesn't run either. Hmmmm

Never hurts after a crash to try this fix: reset LR preferences:
