My Mac Pro spontaneously restarts

Over the last couple weeks my computer has suddenly and repeatedly restarted itself without warning while I was using it. It's as if the power was flipped off for a fraction of a second. I checked the power cables, of course, and they're fine. My house has good electrical and no other appliance has behaved like this.

What possible trouble could this behavior indicate? I'm making sure I've got everything backed up in case it goes down for good.

Thanks

MacPro G5 (aluminum), Mac OS X (10.5.7), 2 x 3 GHz Quad Core

If you replaced all the RAM modules, it would fix the problem.


Those purchased from OWC/MacSales have a lifetime warranty -- so they may be willing to send you a new batch in exchange for the ones you have (perhaps with a temporary hold on your Credit card until the old ones arrive). Later, they can put the returned modules on their memory tester machine and beat the heck out of them to see which are failing.


You could also do a "half-interval search" by removing half the modules and running your system. If the problem is gone, the issue is in the modules in your hand (not in the machine). Keep dividing in half until you isolate the exact module.


You can also use Console.app to search System logs for the words DIMM or ECC.

You can keep checking About this Mac > ( More Info ) > memory to check for modules that are getting ECC Errors.

Hey guys, my Macbook Pro restarted about 3-4 times in the last couple of days. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about what the problem could be, based on the error message as follows?

You have an ordinary page fault in your MacBook Pro 8,1. There are no third-party extensions loaded that could be causing this problem directly.


It may seem odd, but the advice for you is the same as for the previous poster. You either have a bad system (which re-Installing should fix) or you have Bad RAM.


Since you have several kernel panics, you can look back through the old reports to see if there is a trend. Look at the BackTrace information to see if all the problems happen in the same routine (BSD process launchd in this case). The reports may have been rolled over into files with numbers in their similar names.


¿Same place?

--Yes, you have a bad System Image

--No, you have a bizarre non-trend. This often correlates with RAM memory problems (except in the Mac Pro 65lb tower, which has Error Correcting Code memory).


You will need to run Apple System Test or Member or Ramtest to try to isolate the fault, or exchange all your DIMMs with the Vendor under their warranty program. If they are soldered-in, only Apple can do the exchange.

Hello:


I have a Mac Pro (Early 2009) with the following configuration, that spontaneously restarts every 10-15 minutes now.

As per advice on this discussion thread, I have copied and pasted the kernel panic log below. Any help will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I am actually running 3 GT 120s (3 monitors). Is there a way to figure out which specific one has issues, and I can remove that. I really can't go lower than 2 cards (to run two displays).


I also figured that one of them (that has the "Main Display" under the Cinema Display specs) has the PCIe Lane Width: x4. While the other two have PCIe Lane Width: x16.


Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks again.
