Mac pro 3,1 and ati hd5870 overheating (shut down issues)

Hi all I have an early 2008 mac pro 16gig ram and the ati hd 5870 on dual boot windows 7 64bit, it has been running brill for about a year but then I started getting random shut downs in windows and the occasional one in macOS 10.7 I upgrade to 10.8 loved some of the new features but the shuts down became unbareable in both OS I would also just get black screen on startup and have to do forced reboots etc.
If I took out the hd5870 and put back inthe original ati card everything worked as normal except the orginal card isnt supported in fcpX and I need this for my work when I take out the hd5870 card it is boiling hot so I have done some research and it appears I am not the only one with over heating issues.
I have seen there are several third party graphic card cooling options but mac being mac I dont seem to have any free additional power outputs to power a third party cooling device, so my question is this
1, is anyone selse having these issues and has figured out a way to stop the shut downs
2. has anyone or does anyone know how i can keep my card cool?
inside my mac is squeaky clean and so is the graphics card.
ps, typical it is just outside the 1 year warranty and the card is so expensive i didn;'t want to buy 1 every single year

@ Hatter
Yup prior card was 8800gt and new card is nice and snug.  10.8 was not clean install, was upgrade.  Ill try safeboot although not sure how/why that will fix any long term issues i have (which are random).. Trying 10.7 i had the same issues and was hoping that 10.8 wld fix.. Why go back to 10.6.8 when it should work in todays day and age? :(
@ Grant
Have done that now although not sure why something like this is not in the owners manual?!
Thanks for the help/suggestions so far guys, much apprec.. Feels like my pro is dying on me slowly but surely...
Any other bright ideas?

  • Mac Pro (Early 2008) and HP LP3065 30" display compatibility issue

    Hello!
    Is there FIX / Workaround to Mac Pro (Early 2008) and HP LP3065 30" display compatibility issue ? ( +w/ ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT display adapter+ ). Its really annoying problem :-/.
    Main problem is when i start my Mac, my 30" HP screen dosen't wake up, it always on suspend mode. Sometimes it wakes up on the 3rd try orso, sometimes it ruins my motivation, ideas and i give up (talk about inspiration killer). If i connect PC Laptop to that screen, sreen wakes up straight away. ATI says display adapters "drivers" are included on the OSX install. Great. Weird thing is i didn't recognize this problem at all 6-8 months ago, so i thought my system is fine. So i can't return my HP screen anymore.
    My choices are to buy another 30" screen or buy different display adapter; there's two choices atm i think;
    *-ATI Radeon HD 3870 512MB PCI-E for Mac Pro (~200€)*
    *-EVGA GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition 1GB (~500€)* (this one has seperate OSX drivers).
    _Can anyone confirm if those display adapters work with HP 3065 30" screen ?._

    Thanks for all information. I haven't been Mac user very long . I just want to get rid of my annoying problem. I'll do music composing mainly on my Mac Pro. So, it dosen't really matter what display card i'm using, i want to just make sure it works with HP 3065 .

  • Horizontal lines with Mac Pro 1,1 and ATI Radio X1900XT

    I love my Mac Pro, I've had it since 2007. But recently, I have been having a video problem and I hope somebody here might have some advice or suggestions.
    _The Problem_
    Large horizontal lines going across the screen - especially when it is displaying quickly moving images. These horizontal lines move upward, as if trying to refresh the image. Examples: playing a video, scrolling down a webpage, rearranging windows.
    _My computer setup_
    I have a Mac Pro 1,1 with ATI radeon x1900 graphics card. I am using two displays, and experience the following problem on both displays. My displays are set up as follows:
    *Display 1:* Acer H234H, uses male DVI to male DVI connection
    *Display 2:* Panasonic TC-37LZ85, male DVI to male HDMI cord > HDMI coupler (i.e. 2 both sides female) > male HDMI to male HDMI cable
    Both are using 1920x1080 screen resolution.
    I don't think this is an issue with either of the individual monitors for 2 reasons:
    (1) both of them do it
    (2) the Acer has a very fast response time (2 ms) yet it also has the problem.
    Suggestions, comments, ideas, and "hey me too"s are welcome and appreciated.

    Thank you for your answer; I followed your suggestions:
    The card is working fine in terms of spinning and is not dusty.
    I booted from the Mac OS Installer DVD, and couldn't replicate the problem. But I don't think that's a good indicator, because this problem is intermittent and doesn't manifest itself consistently. Also, there's no way of playing video or scrolling down a webpage from the Installer DVD.
    Also, I tried switching the two display connectors around (plug 2 to plug 1 and vice versa), which caused something interesting to happen: I stopped seeing vertical lines but started getting WEIRD flickering and green artifacts. Again, this happened on both screens.
    The Apple Hardware Test said everything is fine (weird).
    I think I'll try your suggestion of re-installing the OS. I always dread doing it. But hey maybe it'll make my computer run fast again (it's been running slowly lately).
    Cheers, thanks for the suggestions, and I'll post back regarding what happens next.

  • Problem between a Mac Pro / 01-2007 and ATI Radeon X1900XT

    Hello,
    My friend has bought a second hand ATI Radeon X1900XT with a fan Zalmann Fatality VC-ZV9 and has the following problems. She can switch on her computer without any problem and the card works fine (Photoshop, ...) As soon as she launches Secondlife client, the screen gets black few minutes after, and if she tries to switch off and on the screen, it says "No signal" anologic or digital. This card is reported to work very well with Secondlife. It can't be overheat, since it comes very quickly, and just after the crash, she can touch the card which is not hot. The fan works fine. How can I investigate to find out what goes wrong with this card ? Her computer is a Mac Pro bought in January 2007 with 3 Gb RAM and Leopard. The problems has occured before 10.5.3 version of Leopard was installed. I've made a test of the Video Memory with Techtool Deluxe and it didn't find any problem.
    Thank you

    I think I'm having a similar problem: running a Mac Pro/ATI Radeon X1900XT. Was having issues with general artifacts that seemed to come and go randomly. The machine got very hot one day when the AC was not on and the office was closed: random artifact "pixel dots" became lines on the screen, and then the entire screen just went black.
    I had to do a hard shut down, and it's happened several times since. When I pulled the ATI card out, there was considerable dust built up at the intake which I cleaned out. It hasn't blacked out again, but the artifacts remain on the screen.
    I suspect the card is about to die, but was trying to see if anyone else had this experience? Also, if anyone recommends replacing it with the same card, or if there is a better recommendation? I do general design and photo editing, no gaming and nothing very intense.
    Thanks for the help!!

  • Mac Pro 3.1 and ATI Radeon 3870 running Snow Leopard

    Hi.
    Anybody who can give me a straight answer here.
    I have a Mac Pro3.1 8 Core 2.8Ghz with Radeon 3870 card. (Standard 2600 HD)
    Right now it runs 10.5.8 with no problems but i want to update to 10.6.3 Snow.
    But someone told me the 3870 card isn't working with Snow Leopard.
    Is that right ?

    Someone? not working? I think they mean that some features won't be supported, like perhaps OpenCL.
    Use GT120 cheap and works or shell out for ATI 4870 (or wait and see if anything comes out this year).
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC002ZM/A
    Most of what is written seems like it wasn't a tech writer, but then Apple doesn't get into telling customers what UEFI/EFI64 is the over-riding requirement.
    Take Apple hardware specs with grain of salt.
    The 4870 works in ALL Mac Pro models (and look at the threads, or the comments on the product page why not). No mystery there either.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A
    Even the GTX 285 works, if interested.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW387ZM/A
    And one person has both ATI 4870 + GTX 285, using a couple break out power cables and adapters.
    *2009 Mac Pro owner running GTX-285 and ATI 4870 Cards*
    (via Aux power Y adapters) And yes, he knows that apple lists 300W Max for the PCIe cards in the manual.
    I've got the dual high-power graphics cards running without a hitch. It's rendering with the GTX 285 and CUDA now while I use the computer with the Radeon 4870 (no GUI lag, which is a nice change from using the GTX 285) http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/

  • Mac Pro Early (2008) and ATI Radeon X1900 XT

    Hey, I recently got the new Mac Pro (2008), and wanted to put my old ATI Radeon X1900 XT in my new machine, however when i put it in the extra wide x16 PCIe 2.0 slot, secured it and fired up my machine, the screen remained black and the fans went constantly on full speed, i swapped over the DVI to the other graphics card, ATI Radeon HD 2600 in slot 2. In system profiler it didn't recognise the X1900 XT.
    According to the apple site, a PCIe 1.1 card can be put in a 2.0 slot and vice versa, so im not quite sure why its not working!
    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated .
    Chris

    It appears that you can run the 1900 xt in the new Mac Pro early 2008. Rob Morgan has benchmarked the results. Apparently it works well in gaming, however, it does not offer all that much over the stock 2600 xt for Motion performance. With Motion the 1900 XT was only a few seconds faster than 2600 XT. Good luck.

  • 10.6.4 Combo Update - Kernel Panic on 1st Gen Mac Pro with 8GB and ATI 4870

    Hi,
    I installed the 10.6.4 combo update last night and now my system constantly kernel panics. It was fine with 10.6.3 for months and never kernel panicked.
    I have 4 x 2GB FB-Dimms and a ATI 4870 card.
    The system is also only showing one display and I can force it to kernel panic by going to system preferences and selecting 'Detect Displays'.
    Anyone got any suggestions before I reinstall back to 10.6.3?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hey guys. I have got a new Macbook Pro 13" model and I am getting kernel panics. I've been trying to partition the drive for Boot Camp and after I updated yesterday (to 10.6.4) i've been getting the kernel panic sign. Also, when I boot from my Snow Leopard disk to go into Disk Utility to repair the permissions (I opened Onyx and on the SMART check it said the permissions needed to be reset) I get a kernel panic and it crashes! So at the moment i've just backed up my work and I am panicking myself as I have no idea what to do from here.

  • Mac Pro with Server 10.8.5 Randomly Shuts Down

    OK all you really smart dudes ...
    I have a Mac Pro (2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) with 24GB RAM. We are running Mountain Lion Server (10.8.5) without problems until the last two weeks. "Out of the blue" in the middle of the day, it just turns off. We check on it and it is completely off and we have to restart it. Today it happened for the 3rd time ...

  • My MacBook pro is slow and keeps on randomly shutting down.

    I got it in 2011 and its updated. I recently have been using my computer a lot for work and school and as soon as I go on certain apps and sites (ex. Mail, Word, Gmail, Preveiw, ect.) it gets extremly slow and the circle loading sign comes up for a long time. Then it blacks; it doesnt shut down or sleep, but the screen just goes blank. I don't know if it has anything to do with my batery, or some sort of MAC virus, but its driving me crazy.  I am not sure what to do.. any ideas?
    I also live in a dorm for college and the internet is shared, my computer always works worse when i am using a internet connection there; could that be a factor?

    Back up your documents and everything else important to you. The symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
    If you suspect the hard disk may be failing, try repairing it with Disk Utility:
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
    Depending on the particular error, it may recur even if Disk Utility reports that it has been repaired. If it does you should consider the disk unreliable, and make plans replace it.
    When Disk Utility finishes, restart your Mac and test again for operation.
    If problems continues to occur please determine if they also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, some networking functions are disabled, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

    Using the standard Display that came with the Macs, everytime I'm working in Ilustrator CS5 or 6, the Document I am working on gets transparent, and I when I try to move a pallete or the Document itself, the pallet or doc leaves trails from where it was to where I moved it. The only way I can resolve it is to open the Display prefs, choose a lower res, then switch it back to the "Best for Display" option. This started happening on both machines after the 10.8.5 update. I have since gone through all the Pram and Board resets, even had Apple replace the Vid Card and nothing helps. Anybody have this issue. It only happens in Illustrator.

  • Mac Pro Power Up failure - Mac Pro goes on and off

    Since few months my Mac Pro first generation (2x 2.66 GHz Dual core 8 GB RAM with ATI Radeon XT1900X 512 Mb video card) frequently does not start up. When pushing the power button it starts up and in few seconds turns off again. I have reset the SMC, done a hardware test for RAM etc. The machine has had a dure test at a service provider but the problem was not found.
    Few weeks ago the problem began again and sometimes the Mac Pro starts up normal and sometimes the problem occurs again. And sometimes the Mac Pro goes of spontaniously. Can this be the Video card causing this problem? The RAM seems to be OK, cause I replaced the 4x 2xGB DIMMS with the older 2x 512 MB DIMMS that came with the Mac Pro and the same problem occurs.
    Has anyone has this problem and/or knows a solution?

    I just starting having this problem today. I turned on my Mac Pro this morning and after a few seconds it shut down and then restarted. It kept doing that so I finally unplugged the computer. Prior to today the computer would sometimes shutdown or restart on it's own but I could usually get it boot back up and was able to use the computer. It's still unplugged and I'll leave it that way until I get home from work today. I did open up the case and blasted out as much of the dust that's built up with a can of compressed air. I've read about resetting the SMC but can I do that if the computer keeps restarting after a few seconds? I have AppleCare for the Mac Pro should I just set up an appointment and take it in? I worried that it may be an issue with the power supply. Any suggestions? I appreciate the assistance!!!
    Thanks!!

    I have a Mac Pro 1.1 and want to add one or two HD displays or HDTVs to my computer. I do a lot of work with Photoshop and need a larger work area.
    What do I need to up grade my computer? Which displays and or HDTV's might be the most cost effective to get?

    Disk drive using native SATA bus interface will allow the drive to copy and always present and ready.
    But once you have backup any hourly changes should be smaller and as long as the NAS and your switch should allow enough.
    You should always have off line backups and don't rely on just one backup set or just TimeMachine.
