Problem with Mac Pro Booting

Hello All,

I am an owner of a 8 core Intel Mac Pro(Last generation), which I purchased in Dec. However through a stroke of mad evil luck, It has spent half of its life in the shop.

Since I bought in (end Dec) It has being to the shop twice, both for Main board replacement. I am not too happy about it, since its an expensive machine, and I am now very behind on my work because of this mess.

But I want to ask, does anyone else have this problem? Your Mac Pro failing so often in such a short time?

MacPro/Macbook/Imac/MacMini, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Yup, it happened to me in the first week. I'm worried of Apple's product quality, its going downhill with all the booting problem and sleeping issues.

As well as their support department. I wasted about 2 weeks of bad information that they're going to send me a box so I can get it serviced. I called up to ask for the tracking information after a long wait and then they told me they don't ship one that big and I need to bring it in to a authorized dealer for repair.

I'm thinking twice from now on each time I buy a product from Apple.

December would have been the older model, not the new one, and not known for having very many problems at all other than FW ports or something.

So not having posted before to ask or knowing what.... if there is a problem, best to have it on day #1. Riser card, damaged in shipment, SATA drive bay not working, faulty video card, even Apple RAM can fail. But not much. Which makes the issues iwth 2008-model all the more strange.
