GPU not found - Mac Pro (2013)
Hi, I hope someone can guide me to a better diagnosis for this Mac. Hopefully it is not a failing gpu...
For the past couple of months, I've been having more constant instances of this Mac Pro failing to boot up properly.
It starts up, power led is on, fan appears to be spinning, but there is no video output. I can use another Mac to ssh into it, so I know that it is booting into macOS. (When this happens it can restart itself a few times before it becomes stable again, - no video though)
- Have tried removing all USB devices except for keyboard
- Have tried with different monitors (HDMI and DisplayPort)
- Reinstalled OS one month ago and issues continue
- Apple Diagnostic Tool shows no issues.
- PRAM and SMC resets appear to help a bit although it is not 100%; sometimes after these resets, I get video output back.
Kernel panics show :
panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff7f838fd75a): "virtual bool AMD7000Controller::detectPowerDown(): GPU is not found. PCI config access fails!!!
Or it can panic due to watchdog timeout:
"panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff7f8b23fad5): userspace watchdog timeout: no successful checkins from com.apple.WindowServer in 120 seconds
