Weird Mac Pro (early 2008) screen issue

Hello,
I have the brand new mac pro 2008 standard config and I have various issues where the screen went a little strange and everything froze and I had to reboot, has descripted in this thread : http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=4804504&postcount=1
It seems that we're many to have the same problem with the new mac pro and HD 2600 XT.
Any news from Apple about this problem? Any hope to be software fixed with 10.5.2?
Many thanks for answers,
Jules

I have the exact same issue on my 2008 Mac Pro; there is at least one other thread on similar problems here, and quite extensive coverage of the issue over on www.xlr8yourmac.com
Having gone through much the same freezing issue with an Al iMac a few months ago I strongly suspect it's the ATI Radeon 2600 card at fault. Apple fixed it on the iMac with a firmware update (which unfortunately will NOT apply to our Mac Pros), and it's pretty disappointing they did not think to test rigorously for the same problem on a card which is basically identical but with a faster core and memory spec.
I have tried all the usual fixes: clean install on a freshly zeroed drive, Repair Disk & Disk Permissions, running Cocktail or Onyx, re-seating video and RAM cards, etc. with no joy; I can have days of freeze-free computing, and then 2 lock-ups within 5 minutes, followed by days with no problems again. It does not seem to be related to intense graphics use, heat, or any other of the "usual suspects."
Others with similar issues please post and especially anyone who has found a genuine fix. Personally I think a firmware update will be necessary once Apple realizes there is a problem although some report the issue can be resolved by turning all Energy Saver functions off. I did this 48 hours ago and have not had a freeze since but it's really too soon to tell... can't hurt, however.

  • 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 .

  • MAC PRO (Early 2008) RAID CARD ISSUE - SYSTEM FREEZEHello (hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue)  I own as above a MAC PRO (Early 2008) this has a RAID card installed along with two 15k.7 cheetah hdd (320gb) and a spare drive, (which i m

    Hello (hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue)
    I own as above a MAC PRO (Early 2008) this has a RAID card installed along with two 15k.7 cheetah hdd (320gb) and a spare drive, (which i made a regular drive)
    a while ago i had to replace the RAID card battery, so i did this, over a year later the same thing happened again, but as previous just left it and the system seemed fine for ages, until last night i was working in PHOTOSHOP and everything just froze and the screen kind of appeared GREEN, could not do a single thing. So restarted the mac, this time grey screen for ages and a message appeared, (macs version of blue screen) (see attached).
    I restarted the machine and this time a flashing question mark folder!
    could not do a thing.
    so i found my copy of snow leopard and got the computer to run this and at least launch the DISK UTILITY and (Interestingly in the drop down menu RAID UTILITY was also in the menu) but it did not matter which utility i used the (RAID or DISK) neither could see any of drives, just the dvd drive.
    so looked around on you tube and various forums and discovered if i take out the RAID CARD and re-plug the main lead from the RAID card back in to the LOGIC BOARD I would be reverting the MAC to a normal regular non-RAID computer.
    After performing this HARDWARE task and inserting all three HDD, and running the DISK utility from the drop down menu via the SNOW LEOPARD disc.
    (interestingly since the RAID card had been removed the RAID UTILITY  from the drop down menu no longer appeared). running disk utility I can now only see the regular (spare) hdd and DVD Drive, but the two RAID HDD , again, still do not show up DISK UTILITY?
    O.K. so i could chuck out the RAID card (AND RAID HDD) and just go with a regular set-up, and run a back restore from Time Machine on a NEW hdd purchased.
    but what is wrong with the RAID, is the card at fault or are both HDD used for the RAID knackered? can i perform any tests, to see whats what?
    thanks for your help in advanced.

    hello people, the issue was in fact the GRAPHICS card nothing to do with the HDD or RAID system ( although this did cause issues with the RAID system it basically lost its way) below is my replay to another similar  problem some one else had!
    working in photoshop and then everything stopped working and the lot froze! only option was to force shutdown (via button).
    and try to restart, hoping all was fine, this was not the case :-(
    I had the added issue of the RAID card system, that i have, this was confused to say the lease and would not behave or work, causing the start up to hang.
    so i thought the HDD must be bust and the root cause. ( but soon learnt it was not the cause )
    ...bought a new HDD removed the RAID card and replugged the cable from RAID card into LOGIC board, ( making the computer act like any normal non-RAID system). I managed to install the OSX, using the snow leopard disk way. once the mac was running, i started to notice the screen would flicker and started to see 'artefacts'. so i started to reveal my symptoms to the web and forums and soon discovered that my graphics card could be the issue all along?.
    (nvidia geforce 8800gt 2x dvi).
    I read up on that a fix, could be either A. reply the thermal paste, as the card could be over heating or B. stick the card in the oven trick.
    Tried option A. first and nothing still issues, so last night took the plunge carried out option B. and ta da it worked! i even managed to run
    from my new HDD my lasted install OS X, absolutely fine. I then thought, maybe i could repair my RAID so replugged all the HARDWARD back in and
    carried out a disk repair and disk permissions on drives( took a small amount of time), via the SNOW LEOPARD disc - (Disk utilities) and this worked and now have my system working as it was just over 6 days ago.
    what was the cost to get this?  bought a new hdd so 40.00gbp and thermal paste and cleaner kit ( your still need to do this ) search video card trick on you tube.
    and renew thermal paste, approx 15.00gbp, technically i don't need the new HDD, but it was all part of the trial and error way i went. ( i do have extra storage as a result!)"

  • Black Screen for Install of Windows 7 on Mac Pro Early 2008

    I have a mac pro early 2008 with lion 10.7.4 and boot camp 4.0.3 I think... anyways the problem I have is when I am in boot camp, and configure the HDD partition, then the machine reboots... when it reboots and starts up boot from the install DVD (legit retail copy) I just get a black screen on both monitors. No curser, nothing just a black screen, same as I get when the machine is off! the little white LED lights are on and nothing...
    I can hear the DVD spinning up and down a few times then that just stops too...
    I have tried resetting the PRAM, pulling the power and watch battery inside for a few minutes, I tried the "fix" that is online for the imac problem with the answerfile and got no different resutls with anything, still the same probelm.
    I have the OEM ATI Radeon video card 512MB.
    * as a side note, I was never able to download the windows support drivers prior to trying the install... I tried and tried for the last two days so this time I "unchekced" that box and just went for the install...
    Any help will be greatly appriciated, thank you :-)

    I get that dreaded black screen following partioning of my drive on the Windows 7 install on Mavericks on a Macbook Pro late-2008 (MBP5,1) but I'm at a loss to work out where the solution lies in the thread! ;-(
    To date I've spent about 5 days going back and forth trying all sorts of combinations, including the obvious:
    - removing bootcamp 5 and reverting to 4
    - installing the imac drivers
    A HUGE thanks if you can offer any help as I'm at the end of my tether...!

  • Mac Pro (early 2008) No chime, pixelated white apple screen

    My Mac Pro (early 2008) stopped working this morning. It was working fine yesterday, but did not start today.
    i Press the power button, and there is no chime. The fan whirls around and the cd disc drive makes a noise. The startup screen shows up with Pixelated black bars across the whole screen.
    this his stays onscreen, freezes for a few minutes, then restarts And continues the cycle of freezing and restarting.
    iI've tried to reset the smc and pram and that hasn't done anything.
    i've cleaned the inside of the computer, checked the RAM and graphics card, they seem to be in good working order.
    does anyone know what's wrong with it?

    Hi BDAqua
    i tried safe boot. The white apple screen still comes up pixelated but with a grey loading bar at the bottom. Once the bar has loaded fully, nothing happens. it stays frozen on that screen until I have to force it to shutdown by pressing and holding the power button on the front of the tower.
    i Tried holding the alt key. It brings up the devices, the screen is still pixelated. Pressing either one of the disk drives, didn't do anything new Unfortunately.

  • Mac Pro (early 2008) black screen after 2015-004 Mavericks security update

    Hi,
    My Mac Pro (early 2008) does not start up after 2015-004 security update last week. I can't
    get anything on my monitors.  I can hear it starts booting, but not sure if does so fully, because the screen
    stays black.  Have tried all the different booting options, e.g. safe boot, but no effect.  Is there a way to revert
    the update or even do a clean OS install, even if I can't see anything on the monitor? 
    I just noticed that Apple has released a supplemental update today for Yosemite 10.10.3,
    "that will fix video driver issuesthat will prevent your mac from starting up when running certain apps that capture video"
    I am wondering if this is my problem, even if I use Mavericks.  Any thoughts?

    Try booting to Recovery and repairing the the startup disk via Disk Utility.
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    Next try resinstalling the OS

  • Mac Pro (Early 2008) periodically crashes in unusual way, requires reinstall

    Mac Pro (Early 2008), 2 x Intel Quad-core Xeon 3.2 GHz (8 cores), 14 GB RAM, 3 TB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 and/or ATI Radeon HD 4870), OS X Lion 10.7.4
    OK, I've got a weird one here.  Every few days, my machine crashes in an unusual manner.  Examples:
    * the first time this happened, any attempt to play a video file (either from within iTunes or externally using Quicktime) would result in a blank, black video window, but I could still hear the sound from the video.  If I moved my mouse within the black window I'd get playback controls and when pressed, I could hear the audio rewind/fast forward/etc. (but of course the video window would remain black)  Also, any attempt to use screen sharing would result in a completely white window where the remote screen should be.
    * another time this happened, I would constantly get the error message that VTDecoderXPCService quit unexpectedly, even if I wasn't playing a video.  Trying the suggested fixes from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3193904?start=15&tstart=0 did not fix the issue.
    * another time this happened, the machine appeared to work fine, except any attempt to access System Preferences resulted in the spinning beach ball of death and would completely lock up the machine.
    In any case, rebooting the machine does not result in the problem being fixed -- in fact, it gets worse.  After I reboot, I am unable to log in to my machine at all. Either the desktop window flashes briefly but then it goes back to the login screen, or the login screen never appears.  I have tried both the "guest" account as well as a standard "test" user I set up when I first installed OS X (i.e. a "clean" user), and none of those help.
    What *does* help, however, is completely reinstalling OS X Lion (including running the combo updater to get back to 10.7.4).  Once I do this, the machine becomes usable again, and I can use it error-free for a few more days - after which it fails again in some strange manner.
    At first I thought my hard drive might be failing; however replacing the hard drive did not help.  I then thought that I might have a glitchy graphics card (the black video windows and the VTDecoderXPCService crashing suggested this to me).  However replacing the video card didn't help either.  (I tried another GeForce GT 120 as well as an ATI Radeon HD 4870, both of which were known to be good in other machines).  I have also tried countless times fixing permissions, clearing cache files, etc. and none of that helps.  The only thing that brings this machine back from the dead is, like I said before, reinstalling OS X - but only for a few days.
    I didn't see anything out of the ordinary when checking the system log files.
    In case there was some sort of hardware problem going on, I tried running Apple Hardware Test overnight in loop mode.  The hardware passed all checks.  I also tried running Memtest86+ overnight, again with no failures or errors.
    The machine doesn't seem to me to run particularly hot - typically temps hover in the 40-45 C range, and can jump to 55-60 when doing heavy activity (mostly video encoding).  Voltage levels look good as well.  (I'm using iStat Menus for both the temperature and voltage readings)
    I'm about at my wit's end here.  Unfortunately the machine is out of warranty (AppleCare too) and I don't really have the money to take this into a shop and get it diagnosed.  So does anyone have any ideas?

  • Mac Pro Early 2008 will not boot off Win7 Install DVD

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone out there will have encountered something similar and have some suggestions or ideas, because at this point I can't think of anything else to try.
    I have a 2.8 Ghz 8-core Mac Pro (Early 2008) with an Nvidia 8800GT Graphics card. I am running OS 10.6.2, fully patched and updated.
    I am attempting to install Windows 7 Ultimate via Boot Camp, and am encountering a rather odd problem.
    Once I have launched Boot Camp Assistant it allows me to partition the drive and does so correctly, but when it attempts to reboot off the Windows 7 installation DVD, I encounter a blank grey-white screen similar to that which you normally get on startup but without the Apple logo. This continues for some time (it seems to vary), and then the screen goes dark and the monitor says it is receiving no signal. The fans on the Mac Pro go for a while, then it goes to sleep. I've tried leaving it for a couple hours, no dice.
    I've tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows install disks. I had the release candidate for Windows 7 installed previously, and it worked perfectly. I have since tried that same install DVD that I used to install the release candidate, and it encounters the exact same issue. Booting up off the Snow Leopard Install DVD works fine.
    I tried doing a clean install of Snow Leopard on a spare drive, booting off that, and then starting from square 1 using Boot Camp Assistant to re-partition that same drive. Same problem. No matter what I do or try, my Mac Pro does not want to boot off this install disc. I have yet to try the disc in another machine to see if it works there, and I will as soon as I can, but the fact that the RC disc worked a few months back and now will not seems to rule out the boot discs as defective. I've also tried both my internal optical drives with no change, and no other discs have any issues.
    I've already spent an hour and a half talking to Apple Technical Support, and they seemed stumped, so I'm hoping someone will have a notion. If not, I understand and appreciate you taking the time to read this- I have no idea at this point, and I'm generally a pretty knowledgeable user.
    - Andrew

    Thank you for your reply,
    Pull all the drives you have other than the one that you will install Windows 7 to.
    I think I will try this next.
    Don't put Windows 7 on the same drive as OS X, give it its own.
    That was initially what I started out doing.
    And you don't even need Boot Camp Assistant.
    True, but it's what Apple suggests using.
    Might also want to try moving the monitor cable to the other card port.
    Hmm, I think I'll try that.
    Any other PCI cards or devices attached or installed should also be questioned or disconnected.
    I've disconnected everything I could.
    Always a good idea to start fresh which I assume you are doing (not trying to upgrade over RC etc).
    Yes, the drive was empty to start with.
    Honestly it seems like the Mac Pro is generally refusing to boot from any Windows disc. Things I've tried since my initial post:
    - Loaded Windows 7 Install disc into my room mate's windows PC... loaded up fine, got to install screen
    - Tried his OEM copy of Windows Vista 32-bit, same issue
    At this point it seems like maybe some kind of firmware issue or some kind or graphics driver issue, but I'm pretty much grasping at straws at this point. It doesn't seem like it's even getting to the point where hard drives or anything matters.
    It does recognize that I have a Windows 7 install disc inserted when I use the boot selector/startup disk chooser.
    Thanks for the ideas, I'll try those out and see if any of them help,
    -Andrew

  • Disappearing HDD content / Mac Pro early 2008

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Pro early 2008.
    I keep getting a weird fault. All of my HDDs (exept system drive) and external usb devices like CF cards (via reader) are not showing any content. But only through applications. Example: When I try to open a project in photoshop, in this little finder window, I don't see any content on my HDDs. The same in After Effects, Final Cut etc. The weirdest thing is that trough a normal Finder window everything seems to be ok, but when I try to open PSD from Finder, photoshop crashes. It's all very confusing and making me angry
    When I restart Mac, everything comes back to normal.
    Irecently reinstalled My Mac on an SSD (the only drive that's not disappearing ) - maybe that's the problem. I don't know. Please help if you have any ideas why is this happening.
    Regards,
    Maciek
    btw. "About this Mac" doesn't work either...

    Hi,
    Thank's for your help. I have some more anomalies to report
    After many restarts I can say that there may be an external device problem. The disappearing issue appears only when an external device (hard drive, card reader) is connected: via USB or Firewire. Before that happens everything is ok. When I connect any hard drive (doesn't matter if 3.5", 2.5" powered by USB or power supply) after a few minutes the problem appears...
    Maybe you will be able to help me to identify this problem.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Mac Pro (early 2008) cannot startup

    Today, I shut down my Mac Pro (early 2008) for about two hours and now it just refuses to startup.
    This is the symptom:
    Power-on LED illuminates when power button is pressed and fans spin continuously but there is no boot tone or video
    Apple Service Guide
    1. Reseat video card. (Make sure video card is fully inserted in connector and end of card is 1. secured by the connector latch.) For video cards that require power cables, check that they are connected.
    I have two GPUs. NVidia GeForce 8800 GT and NVidia GeForce GT120. Tried them individually. Cards' fans spinning.  Check diagnostic LED and LED 7 & 8 no light. Only LED 2 Yellow and LED 9 Green.
    2. Verify speaker cable is fully seated.
    No idea where this is.
    3. Reset logic board. Refer to “Resetting the Logic Board” in this chapter.
    Same symptom. LED 7 & 8 no light. Only LED 2 Yellow and LED 9 Green.
    4. Check diagnostic LED 3 and/or LED 4 for processor connection.
    Off.
    5. If only one of the CPU Error LEDs (LED 3 or 4) comes on, try swapping the processors. If the Error LED follows the processor to the other processor location, replace that processor.
    Since LED 3 & 4 are off, I guess CPUs are fine.
    6. Replace logic board
    This seems to be a standard fix suggestion for all startup failures in the service guide. Anyway, to check if it's a logic board issue?
    I tried this too:
    System Reset
    Mac Pro (Early 2008) has a system reset switch on the logic board that may be used to restart the system while it is powered up. This switch can be used to determine if a computer that won’t consistently boot from a cold start has power supply issues. Follow these steps to reset the system:
    1. With the computer powered up, press the SYS_RST switch located in the upper right-hand corner of the logic board. To press the switch, use the nylon probe tool (Apple part number 922-5065).
    2. If the computer boots after you press the SYS_RST switch, try shutting the computer off and restarting by pressing the front power button. If the computer restarts when you press the SYS_RST switch but not from a cold start, the power supply may need to be replaced.
    and I experienced 1. Can conclude not power supply issue? Did diagnostic check and still the same LED 7 & 8 no light. Only LED 2 Yellow and LED 9 Green.
    I checked both memory riser cards. No red light. Half a year ago, I experienced the same no chime startup issue and found that Apple's supplied DIMMs were the culprits. I tested individual DIMM and still no go.
    At loss now.
    Apart from sending in for repair, no budget for that, and other steps to revive my Mac Pro?

    had this exact problem yesterday. this is how i solved it although im no apple genius
    My Mac pro 3,1 simply woudlnt boot normally no matter how i tried to reset it. power light was fine, no ram errors, just no chime and no video.
    how i fixed it:
    1. shut down and unplug
    2. open side case (you should be using an antistatic wrist strap if you do this)
    3. unplug EVERYTHING. (remove all 4 HDDs, video cards, Ram boards, power cable, USB cable, audio1/8" jack, firewire cables. leterally you want it bare bones. only thing i left in was my superdrives)
    4. i removed the logic board battery and while unplugged held the power button for 1 min to drain all capacitors on the board. left it unplugged for 10-15min after this
    5. after 15 mins, the only things i put back were the logic board battery, ram boards, the audio jack to check for a boot chime, and the power cable. ( no video cards, no hard drives, not even the boot drive, no keyboard etc.)
    6. press power button to boot. HOPEFULLY you head a chime. if you do, hold power button to power off system.
    7. now only insert the boot drive and one video card into pci slot one (power plug should be out to install things)
    8. start the computer back up and look for video. hopefully it asks for a keybaord and mouse on the screen
    9. shut down without reinserting keybaord, mouse, or anything else.
    10. unplug system after power off, and reinstall and plug back in EVERYTHING
    11. reboot and hopefully all is well????

  • Mac Pro Early 2008 not booting

    Hey guys!
    I walked into a problem with a Mac Pro early 2008 model.
    I got this Mac Pro from somebody since it wasn't working anymore. I was told there could be a graphic card (Nvidia) issue which I think should at least be correct but I am also having trouble with loading EFI. The following things happen:
    When I turn on the mac using a DVI to VGA adapter i have no screen at all. (I don't have any other options atm)
    There is no HD inserted.
    PRAM and SMC reset won't do anything, i'm not even sure it reads keyboard commands.
    The fans all work even the one on the GPU.
    Front LED just burns steady.
    No lights on my USB (non Apple) Keyboard turn on.
    The lights of the mouse just flashes on start up.
    RAM LEDS light up on startup.
    Motherboard reset button doesn't make anything change.
    When I Press the button for the diag LED's, the Trickle Power and the Good Power led come on, the GPU LED stays off. The EFI LED is off aswel.
    No RAM errors show up. Tried switching RAM and disconnecting RAM and GPU.
    No startup chime what so ever.
    I figured there could be something wrong with the EFI firmware (or logic board is just broken). I am trying to restore the firmware with a firmware restoration cd, but I can't get the cd tray to open. I pressed the on button and kept pressing it for a long time. All it does is makes my status LED flash a couple of times real fast, but then it goes back to normal state. No cd tray is opening and its not flashing 3 times fast, 3 time slow, 3 times fast as it probely should be doing.
    You guys have any idea what to try next or how to restore the firmware?
    Thanks in advance.

    there's a boot code to run with the older machines
    Pike wrote this code
    Using this code will get you around the efi/boot issue and move on to OS 10.10.02
    Installing Yosemite just prior to entering the efi/boot, then restart twice.
    You'll need to research Pike's code, but your 2006 to 2008 machines are long ways from trash.
    I'm upgrading my 2006 to 8 cores, Yosemite and 32 gig of ram.
    Long live these early Mac Pros

  • "Charging" icon when actually not charging on Mac Pro Early 2008

    I'm perplexed by a charging/syncing issue I noticed recently with my iPad and Mac Pro Early 2008. I've seen the many posts about the "not charging" message when it is actually being charged. My situation is the opposite - I plugged in the iPad last night for sync and charge with my Mac Pro and when I woke this morning, the charge icon was still on the iPad but the charge level was the same as last night - i.e., 55%. I confirmed the iPad screen was off.
    One change from the previous times I've charged is that this time I used a new USB extension cable - might that be the culprit? The cable worked for syncing and an iPad software upgrade. I would think that the iPad would give a message that it is not charging if there wasn't enough juice available. Seems odd to have this opposite phenomenon occurring.
    I finally disconnected and plugged the iPad into the 10W wall A/C charger and it now appears to be charging normally.
    Thoughts?

    I checked the machine settings this morning and while the display was in sleep mode the computer was set to never sleep. I'm also wondering if there's a chance the iPad was "awake" all night with screen on - don't think so, and I kept it plugged in this morning and put the iPad screen to sleep for at least 20-30 minutes and the recharge progress never changed - i.e., stayed at 55%.

    Try this:
    clone your system and repair it with Disk Warrior instead
    Or try a clean test system install on another drive
    A must: SmcFanControl 2.2 - a mere 400 rpm extra to keep air cooling up
    Try to run w/o externals. MyBook included.
    Is that a 7200.11 1TB? they had a lot of issues.
    Run AHT off your OEM DVD.
    2008 had to have EFI and SMC updates to deal with freezes on wake from sleep, and like all models, high inrush current.  Hopefully you have a UPS and is 1500VA unit.
    When you do hard restart from power button, you almost certainly add more directory errors and to files requiring immediate attention to repair and rebuild the directory; and to scan and repair and delete cache and temp files and folders. A must. Invest in bootable backups SuperDuper along with Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 6, maybe Drive Genius 3 but I'd rate that #3).
    TimeMachine has its own bad habits, especially with Green drives and some externals.
    Try to rule out everything and then add back one at a time.
    And it may just be time to replace the 8800, very common, a couple threads this week, and it is 3 yrs old.  Might want ATI 5870 or 5770.

  • Hello. My mac pro early 2008 restarts after sleep mode and it works slower. I tested it with apple hardwear test and it seems to be ok. Thank you.
