Q: What hardware is causing my kernel panics
Okay, so this is a 2009 Mac Pro 4.1 that I had dropped in my lap. It runs, fairly stable until it has a load put to it. I have zero history on it as it was bought by a friend at a yard sale. Because I have no money in it, I'd have no problem putting a little cash into the right hardware to make a 12 core monster. Basically, if you apply any load you get a kernel panic. I have two logs now. One spin lock acquisition, and one freed zone element. I'll post them below.
Specs: MacPro 4.1 2.26x2
12gb ram (3x4 1066)
640GB HD
ATI 5870 (can't be stock)
Reset SMC.
Reset PRAM.
Same issue after a fresh instal.
Same issue with just one ram stick, tested for each stick.
AHT passes in simple mode, locks up in loop mode.
I may be missing something but you get the idea, it's not good.
Is there any way to determine if the fault is logic board or CPU related?
I can pick up the same CPU tray for about $500 on ebay, and the 2.93 six cores for another 160-200 or so.
This would be a beast of a machine even today, and I even have a GTX 970 laying around just waiting on a home. Anyway, I know it's hardware, and I expect apple to say hey, it's a logic board, but idk if that will actually fix it.
Thanks in advance for any help! Logs below.
