Mac Pro (2008) do not start up

When i try to start my Mac Pro (2008) i only get the Fan to run with high speed and the power light/status light flash with high speed continusly. No video on the screen and no HD acctivity. Do someone know about this problem? I have to reset the PRAM and reset the SMC with no better result.

Yep, I get the same, but only occasionally, as I mostly put it to "sleep" but when away for length of time (e.g. a week or so), I turn it off:
When the fans spin and nothing happens, just press the power on button once more and it switches off.  Press the power on button again, and it should start up.
Have a look in the manual and see if your logic board battery needs replacing.  (page 46 of the manual)

  • Hi All, Mac Pro 2008 will not start after shutdown straight from sleep! Help!

    WILL A NEW LOGIC BOARD SOLVE MY PROBLEM?
    My early 2008 Mac Pro (2.8, 8-core 22 gigs ram) was shutting down from sleep both when I activated it, and then later by itself. Recently it refused to turn on, shuts down after about 3 seconds, light goes off, fans stop.
    Took it in and they replaced the GPU card and PSU. Things were great ... for two weeks. Then suddenly the same symptoms, but at an accelerated rate of occurance. After a day, it did not power on at all save the three seconds of startup fans.
    Took it in again. They AGAIN replace the known-faulty ATI Radeon HD2600 XT cards (two), the ones Apple have agreed to replace up to July 2011.
    Well got the machine back and she worked like a charm... for two weeks. Same thing now. By the way all checks of hardware, ram, disk drives - extensively have come up OK.
    Does anyone have any advice, or have the same problem?
    If it is the logic board, is it worth it to replace or when things go south like this is it better to cut your losses as more and more will likely go wrong?
    Would appreciate any feedback.
    Many thanks

    We can't help with your question. How would we know what has gone wrong with your hardware? We don't have access to your machine.
    I would take it back, or send it in, to Apple Repair.
    I hope you have AppleCare!

  • Mac Pro 2008 Can't start Windows 7 / 8 Installer

    I'm trying to load Windows 8 (And have previously tried everything with Windows 7) on my Mac Pro early 2008 with Mountain Lion, and cannot get the installers to initiate.
    When I start the bootcamp assistant and reboot, my mac freezes before ever getting to the installer. When I reboot and hold option to manually select the installer, it freezes as soon as I select it. I've tried this from a DVD, USB, and even an install partition i setup on my HD, all with the same freezing results. This is a legitimate copy of Windows 8 system builder I'm working with and have installed it perfectly in Parallels.
    I should note I upgraded my video card a long time ago to a gt 120, so I'm wondering if the video card might be the problem. I've installed Windows 7 with this video card in the past so I'm guessing this is a Mountain Lion/Bootcamp 5 issue.
    Has anyone else with a Mac Pro 2008 succesfully installed Windows 7/8 from Mountain Lion/Bootcamp 5?
    Any input would be immensely appreciated!

    There are no Windows 8 Bootcamp drivers. Windows 8 is not supported.
    Use Parallels or Fusion to install Windows 8. By doing so you eliminate the need for drivers since the virtual machine creates virtual hardware and drivers.
    Once the Windows 8 Bootcamp drivers are developed and released you can then install using Bootcamp Assistant.
    Read this forum. Some people are posting that they had some success with the Bootcamp install. but if you have to rely on your computer then don't take the chance.

  • Mac Pro 2008 Won't Start Up without Option Key

    Hi.
    I cannot start up my Mac Pro 2008 without holding down the Option key.
    My Snow Leopard internal hard drive failed, so I replaced my failed internal drive with a brand new one and put the cloned backup onto it.  I also have other internal drives and partitions with systems 10.5.6, 10.7.5, and 10.8.4.  I briefly added a Mavericks partition, but removed it.
    I THINK the problems started after the HD failure, but I'm not sure.  I added no peripherals recently, although I did add 4 gigs of RAM which were faulty and I had to replace them.  But they test fine with a memory test.
    If I Restart, the Mac comes up with a grey screen and won't boot into any system.
    If I Shut down, then Start up, I get the gray screen.
    In System Preferences, I can see every single possible Startup Drive, but no matter which one I select, the same gray screen happens on boot up.
    However, if I hold down the Option key (from startup or restart), then I can choose any startup volume and it starts just fine.
    I've run Disk Utility many times for Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on every volume.  I've run Disk Warrior.  I've zapped the SMC/PRAM, etc.  I've tried starting up from external firewire drives and USB drives.  No matter which drive I select in StartUp Disk Preferences, it's the same grey screen.
    I've tried starting up with ZERO peripherals attached except for USB keyboard and mouse.
    I've taken out all startup and login items.
    I'm don't know what else to try.  I don't mind using the Option key every time, but I'm worried it's a sign of impending problems.
    Thanks!

    Barry, thanks for your reply. Yes, that's what I mean when I wrote:
    "In System Preferences, I can see every single possible Startup Drive, but no matter which one I select, the same gray screen happens on boot up."
    I selected a default startup volume in sys preferences, closed it, and restarted.  I tried every volume possible in turn.
    But thanks for doublechecking

  • Mac book pro (2008)will not start up,command-v gives (error) Import:Importer start failed for 89(kr:268435459)invalid destination port)

    will not start up.
    tried Command-v
    message reads
    (error) Import:Importer start failed for 89 (kr:268435459)invalid destination port)

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Mac Pro 2008 does not go to sleep

    For some time now, I have been experiencing sleep issues with my Mac Pro (late 2008). I’ve searched the web extensively and tried a couple of things, including disconnecting external drives/ hubs, closing all apps and creating a new user account, but nothing has worked.
    Could it be that software the installation of software such as the new Adobe CS5 can cause sleep issues? i started experiencing sleep problems around the time of the installation.
    My Screen saver is set to turn on after 5 minutes of inactivity and both sliders in "Energy Saver" are set to 10 minutes. The only box i have ticked is “Put Hard Disks to Sleep when possible”.
    If there’s no solution, I will need to do an Erase and Install, I heard it’s good to do once in a while.

    Look at this :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776?viewlocale=en_US
    Can not see what is so good about doing an erase and install if your Mac is working fine, my MacBook Pro is going for 6 months now and I have not done a erase and install once and it is still performing as good as the day I got it accept for auto sleep which I do not care about.

  • Mac pro (2008) won't start - led flashes

    it's been a while since i've had a mac issue.
    today my mac pro decided not to boot up. the led light by the power button simply flashes and i have no image on my monitor and it doesn't chime at attempted start up. i've scoured the forums and it appears it may be an issue with the RAM and/or video card.
    in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/12852794#12852794 - a poster said:
    "If the status light still flashes, determine the number of flashes to identify the problem:
    • One short flash followed by a longer off period: No valid memory.
    • Three short flashes followed by a longer off period: Failed memory."
    does anyone know what continuous led flashing might mean?

    The conventional way to proceed when you have no chime is to remove all items that may be dragging down the power supply if they were malfunctioning.
    Remove:
    Hard drives
    optical drives
    PCI slot cards including the graphics card
    all the memory except the minimum -- be sure to remove and re-insert each module that remains, to clear corrosion. If your Mac has separate riser cards, remove and re-insert them as well.
    Try to start up again, looking for the chime.
    A) If you get the chime, add the graphics card so you can see what is happening. The minimum needed to do something is to start up while holding down the Option key, to run the [all-in-ROM] Startup Manager. It will show a blue screen and an image for each bootable drive (there won't be any yet).
    Then add in the optical drive and attempt to boot from an Installer/Utilities DVD appropriate for your Mac, or try the Apple Hardware Test DVD (and hold down the D key as you start up, as it says on the face of the DVD).
    B) If you don't get the chime, it's off to the repair shop.

  • Mac Pro 2008 does not shut down with Mavericks

    Hi, I've got a 2008 Mac Pro.
    Recently I've upgraded to Mavericks and everything seems to work fine except for the fact that when I try to shut down the Mac it doesn't shut down but it automatically restart.
    The only way I've found to shut it down is to put it in sleep mode and then keep the button pressed until it shuts down but I don't want to do this every time I have to shut it down!!!
    Can you help me solve this please?
    Is it a system bug?
    Thank you very much

  • Mac Pro 2008 won't start

    I was doing some mixing earlier on today and my Mac Pro and it was working fine.
    I then come home and go to turn it on and there are these green lines in groups of 3 across my screen. No idea whats going on. My computer then crashes and won't go any further and says hold down power button to turn off the computer. I have tried to run in safe mode, it won't let it happen. I have resetting PRAM.
    Has anyone had this problem before? Is my graphics card dead? Any info would be much appreciated.
    It is a 2008 Mac Pro 8core, if that helps at all.

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    Will it boot to the original software disc with the Apple hardware Test on it?
    If so, run the test.
    there are these green lines in groups of 3 across my screen.
    Could be the graphics card.

  • My Mac pro 2008, not running after the Apple logo, i rebooting and i rebooting

    My Mac Pro 2008 no boot afther the Logo Apple, reboot, reboot and reboot only, and in XP, the graphic is pertubed with bad graphics ... the mémory it's good, and i thinks my card graphic is out. SRY for my english, it's not my language. Help my please, my apple care is finished 10/2011, and i will repared itself. Many thanks. Alain Muno

    Not saying this IS your problem, but … I just went through avery similar problem with Mac Pro3,1. Here is my story.
    On boot of any Mac OP system drive, internal or externalHDD, (Lion or Snow Leopard), original Mac Pro install CD, Snow Leopard CD,nothing.  (Would only go to gray screen,apple logo, spinning gear that would stop spinning after about a minute.)  But, it would boot on XP drive.  However, in XP, on Windows black startupscreen, had alternating columns of two different patters of blue dots and XPgraphics were not as they should be (larger icons on desk top, slow response,different size of desk top (maybe 600x400 when it should have been1024x768).  Supplied hardware test showedno failures.  Took it to shop.  Their better diagnostics showed nofailures.  All peripherals (my drives, myCDs, etc, disconnected.  (NOTE: they didnot try a new video card since they did not have one.)  Still would not start even using their drives(external or internal).  Shop tried a newlogic board.  That did not work and theyput the original one back in.  Shop saidall they could come up with was new processors. This was not a cost effective option and they had none to try.
    After thinking about it more, I figured it could be thevideo card: the original 8800 GT that came with the Mac: that it was so bad itwould not start in Mac OS but would limp along in XP.  I was all set to buy another vid card one-bay just to try.  While doing thatresearch, came across several articles on the Internet that discussed vid cardfailure due to micro-cracks in some solder joints.  These develop due to age/heat cycles.  The proposed fix was to ‘reflow’ the solder.  Figured it was worth a try before spendingthe money on a new vid card.  Found thesedetailed instructions on youtube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7um_hZYom4  I followed the procedure, put the vid cardback in, and now it works just fine.
    I did not and would not do this until I had ruled outeverything else.  But, it has worked forothers and it did work for me.

  • Mac Pro 2008 always crash after sleep and after first start

    Hello, new in the forum,
    2 years ago, I replaced the main disk of a Mac Pro 2008 for a SSD Samsung 470 256 Go.
    Until then, it always crashed 1 or 5 minutes after sleep mode (which I didn't used much), and not always 10 to 15 minutes after the first start of the day.
    No matter if I was working on it or not… Suitcase installed or not (no font problem here). Rest of the day was fine (if no sleep !).
    The difference of speed was so big and "good" that I dealed with it. I though that the Mac Pro was a little old for the SSD technology, and that Apple would fix it, with chance…
    2 weeks ago, I installed Maverick :
    I got crashs during the work flow too. I needed to re-start 3 times at least… Re-start without extension was ok (or not), re-start, crash, re-start without extension, restart ok. I used Onyx, did PRAM too. And sometimes, I needed to re-install Maverick or even to do a clean-install !
    So I suspected the Samsung 470 for all (sleep and work crashs) and replaced it for a Samsung 840 Pro 512 Go.
    And the Mac Pro returned to Mountain Lion.
    Not really better : no crash one day (yeeeees!) and crash after the first start the next day (nooooo!). Every time I tested sleep mode, it crashed.
    My system :
    Mac Pro 3.1 - 2,8 GHz - Quad
    Mountain Lion, 10 Go ram DDR2, ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT, 30' cinema display.
    Adobe CS5 alone (minimal install) with Onyx to repair after each crash.
    Could it be the video card, the mother board, the age of the boy ?
    Thanks a lot !
    Christophe S

    Edit !
    I said that Finder and apps were blocked after 10 seconds (without extension).
    But it was to clic on Launchpad that blocked all, and 5 minutes later it works again.
    I did clic again on Launchpad, it blocked and 2 minutes later it appeared full screen but with rainbow circle, and quit.
    - Restarted with extensions. Kernel panic!
    - Restarted the mac and the grey screen with Apple blocked, without any mouse this time. 15 minutes later, still blocked.
    - Forced restart without extension. Here are the reports of Kernel Panic and EtreCheck:

  • Mac Pro 2008 Apple Cinema Displays are black and there are start up issues

    I have a Mac Pro 2008 Dual quad 2.8 GHz. I have two Apple Cinema Displays (graphics are the standard ATI Radeon HD 2600 – 2 dual link DVI. I have 4 2-GB RAM sticks (8 GB total).
    Neither of my displays are showing anything. Their power lights are on but they are completely black throughout the start up process. In addition when I try to boot up with both graphics cards installed, I get nothing – no beeps no chimes. If just one card is installed (either card in either slot) the computer beeps, chimes and makes the sounds of booting up, but not a flicker on the displays. RAM does not seem to be the issue as I have tried booting with several configurations of RAM sticks with no negative or positive effects. I tried booting up with Hard Drives 1 & 2 removed with no effect.  I have tried several different start up moods and have reset PRAM.
    My guess is that there is something wrong with the motherboard. Or is it possible that both graphics cards are bad?

    The "least intensive" thing you can do is hold down Alt/Option at Startup. Thsi invokes the all-in-ROM Startup Manager, which will light up the screen gray or blue, then attempt to draw an Icon for each potentially-bootable Volume attached (if any). It works as if in slow motion, so you must be patient. If no activity after about two minutes you may count that as a failure.
    The next most intensive is to attempt to boot from an incorruptible source of software, such as an Installer/Utilities DVD. This again uses the "one-size-fits-all" display driver, and attempts to load software off the DVD. The dark colored Apple is loaded off a drive -- it is not present inside your Mac.
    The next most intensive step is to attempt to boot into Safe Mode. This also uses the "one-size-fits-all" display Driver, and does a disk check as it starts up, adding five minutes to the startup time. It then drwas a login screen and deamds your username and password, even if you normally auto-login.

  • Mac Pro 2008 - upgrade to 2010 model or not?

    I have a Mac Pro 2008 2.8 gHz with 12GB RAM. I'm not running Premiere Pro CS5 which is great and seems to love RAM and processor speed. I also recently got a CUDA card to take advantage of it's GPU acceleration.
    My question is: Should I get a new Mac Pro 2010, 6, 8, 12 core or just upgrade my RAM to say, 24GB and perhaps get some SSDs (maybe even in a RAID 0) as my boot drive.
    The RAM upgrade will be in the $650 range, SSDs could be at least that. I'll need RAM anyway for a new model as my old RAM isn't compatible.
    Getting a new model could set me back $5000 (or more) when it's all loaded.
    I'm also a little disappointed in the 2010 Mac Pros, for example my 2008 Mac pro was a no-brainer, but now I'm ambivalent about this upgrade to 2010, thinking there may be new models out this year that fill in all the holes. I kind of feel like the 2010 Mac Pro upgrade was a little like the Final Cut Pro 7 upgrade, it was a stop gap because Apple needed to do something. I could be wrong about this though.
    I know this is kind of a difficult question to answer, but if you have any opinions, please feel free to lend any advice.

    PCIe 3.0
    USB3
    Intel SATA3 6G
    Socket LGA1356
    Socket LGA2011
    3G SSD (by the time 4th Gen SSDs are out, one unit would make out our current SATA channel bandwidth)
    Mid-range Xeon roadmap:
    Socket LGA1356, a direct replacement for the current Socket LGA1366. The parts here are 6-core and 8-core Sandy Bridge single-socket and dual-socket capable but mid-range positioned Sandy Bridge Xeon - and, ultimately, Core i7 - parts with up to 20MB of L3 cache, three DDR3-1600 memory channels just like the existing LGA1366 Westmeres with one memory speed grade higher, and 24 PCIe v3 lanes on-chip.
    The single external QPI v2 link runs at up to 8 gigatransfers/sec, or 32GB/sec bidirectional bandwidth, a 25 per cent speed up over the current generation, but also feeding a third more cores on each socket.
    http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/feature/1811091/2011-intel-xeon-update-holy- socket-trinity
    Intel is set to replace its current high-end socket, LGA1366, when it releases its new 8-cores processors in the Late 2011. This socket is expected to be released alongside Sandy Bridge-EX in Q3 2011, and will support 4 memory channels as well as 40× PCIe 3.0 lanes.
