2008 Mac Pro - Ram not recognised - Fix?

Hi,
Have a 2008 Mac Pro and its only recognising the RAM on one of two the risers, I've pulled it out, checked and put back in but still no joy,
any ideas - is it RAM or the riser which has (probably) gone bad?
Thanks

Not privy to how much and make or whatnot but I would check with each pair.
The rules though for where and how are important.
Generally FBDIMMs do that they failed and use your vendor's lifetime warranty.
2008's with 8-core 3GHz is rare. It says "MacPro3,1" and talking 800MHz DDR2.

  • My Mac Pro will not recognise my Wireless Network.

    My Mac Pro will not recognise my wireless network. It is showing those around me but not mine. I have my iPhone connected to it and my friends laptop also. I have restarted my mac and also the router but still not appearing on my Mac. Help please??

    It was working previously but suddenly dropped out

  • 2008 mac pro will not boot with HD 5770 installed.

    Does anyone have suggestions for this.  When I say it will not boot, I mean it will not respond at all to the power button if the card is installed (or at least if the power cord for the card is plugged into the motherboard.  This is a mac pro version 3,1 with 8 cores 2.8 xeon, 22GB ram, running 10.6.8.  Boots fine with xt2600 but will not boot if the 5770 power cord is plugged in. THis is an apple specific card from B and H.  Perhaps I received a bad card.  I have tried with and without the xt2600 installed and have tried in slots 1 and 2.  I do not have any other PCI cards installed.  Iknow this is not an "officially supported card" but it seems to work for everyone else.

    Sounds like the ATI 5770 issue to me.
    And 5770 worked on 1000s and 1000s of Mac Pro all models, like mine a 1,1 (there is even a thread of 160+ posts)
    Where did you buy the cable and card, if from Apple and it is recent, exchange.
    You are saying you never got to work...

  • Early 2008 Mac Pro RAM placement issue

    A few years back, I purchased a 4GB upgrade (from OWC) to augment the 2GB stock memory.  I installed the 4GB in slots 1 and 2 of the top riser (the existing 2GB were in the bottom riser, also slots 1 and 2). 
    I just discovered that the 2GB on the bottom riser were no longer registering in System Profiler.  I moved them to slots 3 and 4 of the bottom riser and still had no joy.
    When I moved them to slots 3 and 4 of the top riser, I now "see" the entire 6GB.
    Were they improperly installed originally, or should I suspect an issue with the bottom riser RAM board (or motherboard receptacle)?
    Thanks....

    The last couple of years, seems OWC's FBDIMMs are "different" as in some users have had to exchange for a new set.
    If theirs by themselves work - alone - and test on each Riser (swap the DIMMs to the other Riser but move the Riser to the top slot, I don't know if you can boot wtih no DIMMs in top)
    Mixing fbdimms use to and can be an issue.
    Does the old RAM also work alone on both Risers?
    Ideal is to use all 8 DIMM slots.
    2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $30
    http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
    Ideal RAM config is 8 DIMMs - offers 17% improvement memory bandwidth  performance
    667MHz FBDIMMs are cheap, excellent and 4% 'hit' you would never know about.

    Those are for MacPro 1,1 Risers. I asssume they won't work but should be easy to navigate up to find 2008 parts.

  • Early Mac Pro does not recognise ram in Riser A

    System information shows that I have only 8Gb of ram installed when it should show 14Gb, there appears to be no ram installed on Riser A even though I have 6 GB of ram on the card. Assuming that the issue was the card on which the ram was installed I swopped the card from Riser B which has the 8Gb on and put it in Riser A and the 6Gb in Riser B. System Information now shows that only 6Gb is installed so I think it can be assumed that the cards and the ram chips are OK.  So is this a hardware or software issue?
    I recently had to replace the Grphics Card as the old one died could this have resulted in some damage to the motherboard.

    What graphic card? you had 7300GT and put an ATI 5770 in and connected the power cable w/o trouble?
    No, had some power issues, computer would randomly shut down to begin with but after a full SMC reset the ATI 5770 has been fine.
    The top slot for a Riser then, even after replacing with a new one?
    And where did you buy the new Riser?
    Have not replaced either of the risers? 
    Ram is a mix of Crucial and Kingston and was all working prior to Graphics Card being replaced.
    OK! So I have run a Hardware test which shows I have all 14Gb of Ram physically installed in the appropriate risers but only 8Gb is shown to be actually working. Thats the 8Gb installed on the card in Riser B.  Can anyone explain that?

  • 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 RAM burning up - running hot

    Problem: 2008 Mac Pro Tower running hot.
    Possible causes: Power Supply? Fan not working? Machine has 667 mhz RAM not 800 mhz.
    PSU was chirping like a cricket a few weeks ago. I pulled it out, air cleaned it (and the entire Mac, vacuumed all the dust) and left PSU out for 12 hours to static discharge, etc. When I put the PSU back in, it was working and the chirping was gone.
    Successfully used the MAC for a few days, no probs other than 2 DIMMS went bad. I went away for 2 weeks, tried to start-up the Mac yesterday and it wouldn't power on at all, no light. I unplugged it, tried different outlets, power cords, etc. Then I removed any changes that I had made previously (i.e. installed diff HD and 2 new RAM DIMMs to replace the ones that burned up) before going away. I removed PSU and let it sit while I cleaned the 2 DIMMs that had seemed to overheat before I went away. Put it all back together (PSU, old DIMMs which were cleaned and left HD #3 out) and it powered up. I then noticed that I was down from 32 GB RAM to 16 GB very quickly. The machine had also "shut down because of a problem" during that time then restarted and ran for a bit. I repaired the 16 GB RAM by cleaning it, brought it back up to 32 GB again and within minutes it was back to 24 GB. I pulled the RAM cards out and they were hot. The last 8 GB to go were likely the only DIMMs I haven't cleaned yet. I don't know how long that fix will last. Seems like we have a pattern of over heating.
    Any ideas? Is it the 667 mhz RAM? The PSU? The fan? (How do you test a fan?)
    Thank you for your time.
    2008 Mac Pro 3,1
    2x Quad Core 2.80 Ghz Intel Xeon

    First the RAM must be made for your computer as determined by Apple:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
    Thus you have an early 2008 Mac Pro if it is a Mac Pro tower and not a MacBook Pro notebook.
    The RAM must be either preinstalled by Apple, or from a place that sells lifetime warranty early 2008 Mac Pro RAM.
    Just because you got PC6400 DDR2 ECC 800 Mhz FB-DIMM with 256 bit wide memory architecture, as the specs call for,
    does not mean the RAM is compatible.  Only RAM stated to be for "early 2008 Mac Pro" is compatible with those towers.
    http://www.macsales.com/ (OWC) http://www.datamem.com/ and http://www.crucial.com/ all sell RAM by stating the time of year and model name.
    Do not buy ValueRAM.   If after doing that it doesn't work, some directions for other interior repairs exist on http://www.ifixit.com/ and http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/
    Check to make sure the circuit your machine is on is giving off the full amp called for by specs and that current is not split to other devices, and you have either a UPC or surge protector power cord that can handle that ampere. If there is any chance the machine was plugged in during a lightning storm, your power supply may be fried even with a surge protector or UPC being there.  No surge protector is 100% lightning foolproof.

  • Mac Pro will not shut down

    As the subject line says, my "early 2008" Mac Pro will not shut down. I have let it set overnight and it will not shut down or restart. I also installed an update which required a restart, selected to restart and the computer would not. Also, whenever I boot up, the computer hangs and will not load the finder. I have to do a "hard" restart and after a couple tries it eventually works...should I just call Apple?

    Forced shutdowns tend to cause more directory errors.
    How many drives?
    Any green version?
    Did you disable "allow disks to spindown"?
    Possible it is an external USB printer or device, or cable?
    I'd boot from another hard drive and do system  repair and maintenance.
    Create another boot volume if need be.
    Startup with using Disk utility but also Disk Warrior.
    And when it is working, make backups with CCC or SuperDuper.
    Lacking that, boot from OS X DVD and go to Utility menu and access Disk Utility.

  • My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

  • How do I fix my early 2008 mac pro boot hard disk. Lost everything when it crashed hard, can not reinstal via cd/dvd drive... are there any fix get it boot from dvd drive?

    I have an early 2008 MAC PRO Quad Core 3.0ghz processor. 8 Gig of rams, with a 1 Gig memory  Radeon 5770 HD Graphic Card running the latest Version of Snow Leopard OS.  Last week lighting struck the house take out all of my hard drives (4) thank god the surge protector mitigated the mother board from damaged, use the Parted Magic to check out the motherboard and it intact with no damage. I can boot with the Parted-magic and be able surf and post this question to this forums. I replaced a newly formatted hard  drive and trying to installed OS X Mountain Lions to the new drive, but unable to have it boot in my MAC PRO DVD, I get the usual chimes during the booting processed but the screen remain blackout, but able to boot with Parted-Magic to surf the web and access Apple sites/forums.
    I am not well verse in using the Parted_Magic to repair or get my-mac to boot normally so I can reinstall OS X. Any help would appreciated.
    Thank you

    Go to System Profile and look, does it say "MacPro3,1"?
    That is 2008.
    FBDIMM would be 800MHz. Did you use older slower 667MHz in yours?
    You can but take a hit in performance.
    Sounds like MacPro1,1.
    Mac Pro (3.0GHz quad core (dual CPUs) 8GB 667 RAM)
    In 2007 March an 8-core 3GHz did come out 2,1.
    So just to be clear.
    ===========
    It was all working fine a couple of days ago. At the time it randomly shut down I was trying to use Boot Camp to create a Windows 7 area,
    Whenever you want to install Windows, remove all the drives other than the one Windows goes to. And if you use a dedicated drive YOU DO NOT NEED Boot Camp Assist, unless you use XP, which really is limited and crippled (one processor, 1.9GB RAM support).
    And when it freezes, your only choice is to nuke (reformat) and restore or get out that backup CLONE you made before (ie, Step #1 in the Boot Camp Guide).
    Sure that whole NTFS / MBR / GUID could be an issue, but you should just have a blank drive or clone.
    No don't bother Apple, they seem to not have a good sense about Windows on Mac Pro anyway.
    Other than zap pram from cold boot / tried booting with NO drives inside and just 10.6. DVD - should be fine.
    You should be fine iwth Windows 7 DVD and one drive, or even XP.
    Make sure you take your time and reconnect cards etc properly and any cables.
    Booting from OS X DVDs may not work if there is a drive with a totally shot directory or partition table. Put them in FW case and turn on AFTER OS X is booted.
    Why aren't people Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.2

  • My Mac Book pro does not recognise the wi-fi net. How to fix it?

    My Mac Book Pro does not recognise properly the Wi-Fi net at home. I've tried many ways in "preferences", but it realy does not work. When connected in the Ethernet port, it works perfectly.
    Don't have any problems with other computers at home.

    I don't know what you mean by "doing new concessions on DHCP"!!???  Have you tried using a static IP address to see if it works that way?  Have you restricted the range of DHCP addresses available at your router?  If you have maybe the other computers have used up the available range.  Suggest you try a static IP address first, then we'll take it from there.

  • Lion will not install on a January 2008 Mac Pro (3.1)

    I have a January 2008 Mac Pro (version 3.1) and I'm trying to install Lion on one of the hard drives in the main chassis. It has consistently failed.
    I have tried:
    Reseating memory
    Reseathing hard drives
    Zap PRAM
    Reset SMC
    Downloaded 4 fresh copies of Lion from the App Store
    Install from the installer file
    Install from a DVD made with InstallESD.DMG
    Yet, it fails consistently.
    I have 5 log files I'm willing to share, but they almost always look like this one. Some of them fail on different pkg's, but in general, this one seems to be the most regular failure. It's like the filesystem just dies in the middle of the install.
    Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I figured out the problem.
    This is going to sound a little crazy, but I've spent a lot of time on this one.
    There's some kind of incompatibility with Lion and Seagate ST31000340AS drives. I was trying to install Lion on these drives and it would consistently fail. I've also tried to use these drives in a RAID volume. No go. I tried three different drives of this model. All of them failed.
    I tried to install Lion on a Seagate ST31000528AS and it worked first time and sings beautifully.

  • Too Much RAM causing shut down? (2008 Mac Pro)

    I've got an older 2008,  Mac Pro with an OWC SDD as my main drive running the latest version of Snow Leopard.
    In the last several months I've been experiencing problems where the system will shut down (screen says it has gone to sleep and I cannot wake it) but the tiny white power light on the front of the computer stays "on".
    The only way I have been able to get it to turn back on, is to power down holding the power button in, until the white light goes off. When i power back on, some times it will boot to the desktop, and other times, it will just get to the grey Apple logo and instantly go into sleep/ hibernation, etc (I'm not sure what it's doing).
    Things I've tried to resolve the problem:
    - Permissions repair (no problem) - using Drive Genius
    - Disk repair (no problem) - using Drive Genius
    - Uninstalled (or not installed) any of my typical post-reformat software
    - Replaced RAM
    - Replaced RAM riser
    - Reset PRAM, (and other similarly suggested fixes)
    - Disconnected everything except keyboard, mouse and monitor
    At one point I went through all of my ram, tested it all and all passed using software similar to those recommended elsewhere in other Apple discussions
    I once removed some ram from the bottom riser (hunting and pecking here) and this allowed me to boot. (I have had as much as 16GB of Apple approved ram across each riser, inserted into each dim slot as recommended by Apple.
    Could this be a drive problem? I am using an OWC3gb SSD
    Could it be a power supply problem?
    The system is clean, and dust free. The system runs cool (within the recommened guidelines)
    Is there something I might try that I haven't mentioned here?
    Thank you so much.

    So, it "crashed" for lack of a better word at 5:57 - see log below:

  • Early 2008 Mac Pro + ATI Radeon HD 4870 = Not working

    Just took delivery of my new HD 4870 video card today. I installed it in my Early 2008 Mac Pro and booted up. I got a picture no problem on one monitor, but nothing on the other. Furthermore, the display perfpane was missing a lot of controls, like Arrangement and Detect Displays and whatnot.
    I did a bunch of rebooting and swapping of cables, and determined that both the mini-display port and the standard DVI connection will drive a monitor. However, if both are plugged in, the only active display is the one plugged into the mini-display port, and there's no option to setup the secondary display.
    So I booted into bootcamp, and it automatically recognized both display ports, and mirrored my desktop on both monitors. I downloaded and installed the latest windows drivers, rebooted the machine into windows once more, and was able to configure a multiple monitor display with no problem.
    This tells me it's not the card and it's not the motherboard.
    Booting back into mac OS, I discovered that it doesn't even recognize that the card has video ram. It thought I had no video ram in the system.
    So, this all leads me to the conclusion that Apple shipped me a card that it has not yet provided driver support for.
    Hey Apple, can I have my 4870 display driver now?

    Hi again,
    It was funny to read all your answers on my iPhone while away from my computer. I could have reply on the iPhone but I preferred to wait to give you all the procedure I used to install the beta driver successfully this morning.
    To start, I found this link:

    and followed the "4870 INSTRUCTIONS", starting like suggested by doing the "First, follow the 4850 INSTRUCTIONS above"... (See the link)
    I would like also to specify that I did this without having installed the card physically yet. So I kept my HD 2600 in the computer, followed all the steps excepted for the step 3:
    3. Reboot with -f -v (kextcache/verbose mode)
    There is no -f nor -v switches available for the reboot command at the shell prompt. I simply rebooted as usual "Pomme -> Redémarrer".
    After the reboot, all my software was still working as expected with my HD 2600 card, meaning that these steps are specific and active only for the HD 4870 when it's detected at boot-up.
    You may have to Google for the string "Kext" in order to get the application to install the file ATY_Motmot.kext. For your information, ATY_Motmot filename is the same string as the one found under "System Information ->PCI cards" under "Name".
    I get:
    ATI Radeon HD 4870:
    Name: ATY, Motmot
    The article is not clear regarding where to find the OpenGL.framework to backup before installing the downloaded one. I found mine under:
    /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework
    After having shutdown the computer, just after the reboot that proofed everything was ok, I removed the original HD 2600 card and put back the new HD 4870 and boot up...
    Then I check the "System Information" and found both "Quartz Extreme" and "Core image" supported!
    I launched Aperture, got it!
    I launched Final Cut Express, got it!
    I launched Starry Night Pro Plus, got it! Then I checked the OpenGL settings in Starry Night Pro PLus and activated both options:
    Use shaders where available
    Use AllSky shader (Not compatible with all hardware)
    When I was doing these actions with my original HD 2600 card, the software was giving me a warning that my hardware did not support these options and that it could crash.
    This time, with the HD 4870, it accepted my settings and give me back a very beautiful blue sky with much more shades!
    So in conclusion, it works very smoothtly with my system and I am writing this with two monitors, having bought the MiniDP to DVI adapter this afternoon
    I am happy!
    P.S.: A girl from Apple support called me back this afternoon regarding my problem. She was very happy two when I told her that I did apply the beta driver and that it was working very well...
    Good luck and best regards...

  • 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 OS X Yosemite 16GB RAM showing as 12GB

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro (3,1). I have always had 4x4GB Ram installed. I upgraded to Yosemite a month ago(ish). I just now noticed that the system is only recognizing 12GB Ram. Chips in riser B slots 1 & 2 are only reported as being 2GB chips. But they are most definitely 4GB chips.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    As the User Tip indicates, there are tradeoffs. It will not work "just like a genuine Mac" card:
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards".

  • 2008 Mac Pro-Red LED on motherboard = ?? (not diagnostic LEDs)

    My 2008 Mac Pro looks like it's on it's way out to pasture. (Again.)
    So, last year I put a new PSU into my 2008 Mac Pro. Worked great and kicked it right back into gear. Temporarily. Now it's behaving almost the same—erratically. It won't boot. It may chime, may not, but either way it's going to "click" and turn off within 4-5 seconds of pushing the power button. THEN, re-pushing the power button makes it behave like it's fully dead—like it's not even plugged in. This is exactly how it behaved when the PSU died before.
    But, HERE's the question... that no one seems to be able to answer: There is a red LED on the motherboard. It is NOT the set of diagnostic LEDs behind the RAM cage. This little light is almost under HD Bay #1, to the left of the BT card spot and the airport card. This LED stays lit red at all times now.
    What does this red light mean?
    Here's a thread that proposes that it is related to electric malfunctions. But there was never a confirmation of exactly what this specific light signifies.
    If you can't picture where this light is, there are pictures in the above, linked, MacRumors forum thread.
    Any input would be appreciated. These lights are mentioned nowhere in the service manuals that I've seen. Last time I was able to run the Apple Hardware Test, it said, "no problems found". Memtest says all is well. Reseating the cards does not remedy the issue. What is this mystery light telling me?

    Here's a picture of the led in question.
