MacPro (early 2008) refuses to start
Hi all,
My MacPro was loading some movies from a GoPro camera, while I went to the kitchen for a cup of coffee.
When I returned, the screen was black, so I hit a key to wake it up, but nothing happened.
After waiting a few minutes, I pressed the button to shut it down, waited a minute and hit the power button again.
The screen stayed black, but a fan was running wild inside, so after about 30 seconds, I shut it down again.
I opened the case and hit the power button. The fan on the graphics card ran at full speed and I noticed one of the red leds on the DIMM boards was on, so I guessed there was a RAM problem.
Having solved that by fitting some other RAM modules I had ( yes, correct ones ), the startup problem persisted.
I also can't open the DVD drive, so I cannot insert a system disk...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Peter
