My Mac Pro Keeps Restarting! It Won't Stop RESTARTING! Over & Over RESTART!

My HUGE Mac Pro, 3 GHz Dual Processors, 4 GB Ram, purchased December 2007 has had a problem of restarting over and over until I insert the start up disks and reinitialize the system. It will run for about 5 restarts then once again – RESTART OVER & OVER until I hold the start button to stop it. (Ironic, isn’t it)
The third party programs I'm running are:
* BOINC,
* Bryce 5,
* Firefox,
* Pages,
* Photoshop CS3,
* Poser 7,
* Vue6.
ALL of which are checked to be compatible with this GIGANTIC CHEESE GRADER. My MacBookPro3.1, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHz run’s them just fine. (Slower than my old Vio but runs just the same)
My six-month phone customer service expired and now because the computer's crashed & the wireless keyboard won't open the DVD tray to accept my continued three-year service plan on CD, they won't talk with me. I feel SO cheated and without some assistance will probably check myself into an insane asylum with ALL the other people switching from PC to Mac.
My last RUDE Apple customer service person at Apple said it not their problem. <edited by host> In the past, I feel so rushed with Apple customer service then shortly after we reinstall the software, the same problem of restarting happens. One Apple customer service rep even said they have had a problem with this with others.
* SO now, how do I open the CD tray with a PC keyboard for reinstalling the software? I looked for a place to stick a paperclip in the tray to open it, none!
* How can I stop the MacPro from always restarting?
* How do I get a piece of the +$700 billion bailout+?
_*PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* / - ,8' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_

I bet the Apple rep said that guy was rude, too since you seem to be.
How many of these apps, obviously not CS3, FIrefox and Pages, are tweaks that startup from the login items? Any of them? Start there and remove them.
You can register for Applecare if you bought it by calling Applecare. Though holding the mouse button down when booting will open the CD drive as well.

  • My Mac Pro keeps restarting & I don't know why

    Hi,
    It's happened three times now, twice when I was asleep and once when I actually witnessed it happen.
    When I saw it happen, it was  as if someone had pulled the power plug out of the back, it was that quick.  I was typing along and suddenly zap, it powered off instantly!  It wasn't a power outage - I have a UPS with a loud obnoxious alarm, so I'd have know were that the case.  Besides, in all three instances I checked the clocks in the house and none of them were flashing 12:00, it wasn't a power outage.
    When it happens, it reboots immediately (of course that's not instant, it takes the usual amount of time to boot up), and it's waiting at the login screen.
    I'm getting concerned, and I'd sure like it to stop doing this.  Especially considering what I paid for this machine (around $7,000, not counting the monitor and all the extras)
    It's a Mac Pro, 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon running 10.8.3.
    At one point I bought more ram (32GB) and I honestly can't remember if the first time it restarted was before or after I had bought this ram or after.  Could bad ram explain it?  If so, can I test it?  Other thoughts I've had - can a failing hard drive do that?  I didn't think so but I don't know.  Or maybe a surge from a device that's connecting via USB (not all my usb devices are going through my UPS)?  Bad ram??  It'd be great it if were something simplie like a failing power supply, I really hope it's not the motherboard or CPU.
    I'm not quite sure how to read the "Problem Details and System Configuration" upon restart (the dialog box that comes up explaining that the computer was restarted because of a problem, and would I like to send a report to Apple), but I've pasted that info below my message.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?
    Thanks,
      -Adam

    Thank you all for your input.
    The hatter, thanks for the info.  It's a CyberPower UPS probably six years old.  I'm not sure what the lifespan is on these UPSs, whether it's getting old or not.  Also thanks for the info on how to effectively test the RAM, from subsequent posts it sounds like it's likely (hopefully) not the ram, but if it comes to that I'll know how to test it now, thank you.
    Grant and Linc, yeah, I have a lot of crapware in my kernel.  If that's the cause of my problem, I'm very releived!!  I'm glad it's probably not a hardware problem.
    I'd love to figure out how to remove the crapware, but I don't know if that's possible.  I haven't manually rebuilt a kernel since I was using Gentoo, ages ago.  If it's not possible, I'll resintall from scratch again.  It's carried over from many years of OS X upgrades, so a fresh start would be great anyway, I'm sure.  The only addons I'll keep are ExpanDrive (fantastic application that mounts FTP sites as locally mounted RW drives that you can access in the finder), and Little Snitch, you all know what that is I'm sure.  I'll see if there's an alternative to Logitech's crapware, I really like being able to use all my special keyboard and mouse buttons but for a long time I've thought their drivers and software are very poorly designed.  And then Audio Hijack Pro, hopefully it only needs to add one or two kernel modules (as far as I know soundflower has been obsolete a while now).
    Can/does a Kernel panic shut down a computer that quickly?  It was literally instantaneous, I didn't get that warning screen in all the different languages, it was just down in a flash.
    Thank all for your help, all this crapware in my kerenel causing this problem seems extremely plausible and I'm releived it's probalby not my motherboard!  My next step will probably be to install OS X from scratch.

  • My Mac Pro keep restarting after install OSX Mountain Lion!

    it is not that, then an app may be crashing causing the OS to crash and then you may have a setting that restarts your computer should it crash.
    You might also want to attempt a reinstall from the recovery partition
    To get to the recovery partition restart your computer,  hold CMD+R down when you hear the boot up chime. Open Disk Utility first (verify your boot disk and repair if needed) and then close it and reinstall ML.

  • Why does my mac pro keep restarting itself

    It restarts by itself at least 4 times before I can use it without issues.

    I tried to get your post moved to the MacBook Pro forum where others with your model and experience.
    Pulling answers out of a rabbit's hat is magic. Diagnosing anything is trial and error and starting from scratch.
    If it is for business, you should have multiple booable backup copies of your system so you can work from another hard drive.
    I keep a spare computer handy if one of them runs into trouble.

  • Mac pro 2014 restarting unexpedly

    Well. I just posted about this and Apple removed my post. I guess I put too much emotion into my post. So this time i'll shorten it:
    My $10,000 mac pro keeps restarting with no warning. Apple refuses to replace it or give me a refund. I am hurt. Anyone else having a unexpected restart problem with their mac pro 12-cores? 
    thanks

    Hi everyone,
    and thanks for your responses... Let me try to fill you in w more details:
    Grant - No Kernel Panic... . no error message before or after it restarts, no nothing...
    Almost every time this has occurred i was doing something that uses heavy cpu.... either a) rendering in Aftereffects b) rendering in Cinema 4D c) batch outputting lots of video from quicktime 7 (converting prores to h264) and one single time... i was simply using photoshop... nothing crazy.... Most the times this has happened i had other apps open... Mail, Safari, other adobe products, spotify or iTunes...
    Thuhaib - No Firewire on the new Mac Pros... only peripherals plugged in are monitor... mouse, keyboard... ethernet, ethernet to server...
    Another problem i have (know idea if related) is that if Im using After Effects. and my computer goes to sleep... when it wakes up... the audio is no longer connected to After Effects... I have to reelect "built in audio out" in the after effects prefs... or simply (and faster) hit and restart aftereffects to get the audio routed back properly. This happens EVERY time it goes to sleep. I haven't noticed any other programs that lose audio routing settings... but i almost exclusively work in After Effects all day long.
    I have AppleCare. This was deemed a hardware problem in March. I brought it in and the cpu was replaced. However the problem has persisted. To my utter dismay... Apple will not replace my computer. I am a loyal customer of 15+ years.

    I have exactly the same problem. The computer keeps restarting, with exactly the same Kernel Panic. I also tried that application to toggle the graphic cards, no difference. The only difference is that this was rare in Mavericks. In Yosemite it's 2 or 3 times a day.
    Sometimes is crashes right after restarting. I'm looking at the desktop as it appears, and it crashes again in front of me. It's ridiculous. I never saw anything like this, not even in a Windows machine (and I used them for 20+ years).
    So that means we have a defunct machine? Apple allows this to happen? We have a faulty machine and we have no option but to live with the constant crashes, or go back to OSX Lion? That's ridiculous!
    Can't Apple just make a software update to deal with this?? I don't want to go back to the stone age!

  • Why does my Mac Book pro keep restarting

    why does my Mac Book pro keep restarting and how can it be fixed

    It would be nice if you could include a kernel panic log to verify that your problem is...
    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
             com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff

                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Macbook Pro keeps restarting when watching videos online

    My Mid 2011 13in, 500GB HD, 16GB Ram Macbook Pro keeps restarting whenever I'm watching videos online be it Youtube, or Xfinity or anyother video site. Browsing online works fine, nothing happens. I also watched a movie I had on my harddrive and that worked fine as well. The problem is with online video. I even tried it on both Chrome and Safari and I still get the same result.  This started about 3 days ago now my Macbook restarts around 8-10 times a day. It has become a constant hassle that I had no issues with before. After it restarts it leaves a Kernel Panic Report reading: Can anyone help me figure out what the problem might be? Please and thank you.

    Before this, it said the hard drive died. However, replacing the brackets allowed me to continue using the original hard drive.
    If the hard drive died, replacing a bracket (whatever that means) could not possibly have revived it.
    The panic log indicates a hardware fault, probably in the mass-storage subsystem.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • You can't use The following message is stopping me access my disk utility.  'this version of the application "Disk Utility" with this version of OS X.'  not only that my Mac pro keeps dropping my internet connection and logs on to BT Open.

    Help

    For whatever reason you don't have the Yosemite version of Disk Utility which is 13. I suggest you reinstall Yosemite.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Check that you have the current version of Disk Utility.

    The panic was caused by the MAXPower device or its software, maybe with help from one or more of the other third-party system modifications you've installed.
    First check the manufacturer's website for an update. If there is none, or if it doesn't help, I suggest you remove the device, back up all data, and then remove the software according to the manufacturer's instructions. Reboot and see whether there's an improvement. If there isn't, post another panic report.

    That is the distinctive panic report of an uncorrectable memory error.
    *** Panic Report ***
    Machine-check
    9 error-reporting banks
    Processor 0: IA32_MCG_STATUS: 0x0000000000000004
    machine-check is a Hardware problem. Memory problems often show error code 4 or 5, and are detected by MULTIPLE Processors at once. (a software problem would panic-out ONE Processor, and would not say Machine-check.
    The Xeon Processor with Error Correcting Code memory on the Mac Pro stores additional bits with each word in memory, carefully computed so that if the word is read back with one bit wrong, the errant bit can be corrected by Hardware with essentially no slowdown. A background task collects and tabulates the error occurrences, and they can be read back using the STATIC display shown below.
    Uncorrectable errors are detected, but most of these cannot be corrected, so your Mac will halt with a kernel panic, machine check detected by multiple processors. This is by design, to avoid poisoning your data.

    So go about your usual work. From Time-to-Time, re-invoke or Refresh this display. The first modules to show up with errors are BAD, and any filled slots that show as "empty" had errors during the power-on self test, and are also BAD.

  • My mac pro keeps making a chirping cricket-like sound

    My Mac Pro keeps making a chirping cricket-like sound, more and more frequently. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this telling me one of my HD is going bad?

    K_Bar wrote:
    ...I had them so close together that it sounded like the MacPro. Once I pulled them apart however, it was clear where the sound was coming from. Thank you all for the help!
    Been there, done that. And the instructions, once I found them, seemed to list every possible communication except the chirps; I had to call tech support, which was actually a pleasant experience after dealing with Verizon.
    The frequency of chirping as well as how long each chirp sequence lasts seems to be related to the line voltage. It's as if the UPS begins to worry as the line voltage goes down that it might have to actually do something with its battery.

  • Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows

    I've got a Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows. I've tried all of the following initial tests as suggested on forums:
    -Ram swaps
    -Alternating video card in PCIe slots
    -Trying alternate video card
    -resetting pram and smc
    -Multiple tests with memtest86+ over 26hrs and no failed ram
    -Multiple tests (8-12 cycles) with apple HW diagnostics and no problems
    -Firmware is approved firmware for early 2008 model...no new updates.
    Gentoo livecd works fine and I even installed to hard drive and it boots fine with it. In addition to above tests I also ran a linux stress test putting all 8 cores at a load of 22 for 2.5hrs with no problems.
    Memtest86+ for 24hrs+ yields no problems.
    Where problems occur:
    Booting off hard drive, DVD or firewire yields an immediate curtain of death and booting off a new snow leopard DVD dies about 25% into the install.
    Looking at error log and a quick dmesg shows "Package 0 didn't get an HPET" and complains about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Google turns up illegal uses of this, so doesn't apply to my use case.
    I'm a bit stumped since all was working well until one day it was non-stop curtains of death and can't get them to go away.
    A logic board replacement at $1100 is not a feasible option for something that works on linux and windows, but not OS/X, is a bit disappointing and somewhat surprising.
    Thanks for your help and advice.
    Regards,
    Marcos

    Someone here once thought they knew EFI and Open Firmware a little, and used some commands from OF library that an Intel EFI Apple system didn't like. New logicboard.
    Of course to run or boot OS X and see video you need EFI based card. The presence of some PC cards can block OS X from booting.
    The fact you get part way through SL DVD, pull all the drives, put in a new drive and format it from SL DVD.
    Most of the things you tried are what are more common with PC hardware. Including where people have tried and failed to install OS X on unsupported hardware.
    I suppose it is possible something tried and failed to modify the Mac's firmware.
    If you have Windows running, and you have WD drives, WD just posted new Lifeguard utility which is what I use to do a good job of stripping a drive down and recertify it for reuse, works wonders. Maybe same for other makes with vendor utility.
