Mac pro won't boot :(
Hi,
I woke up this morning to find my Mac pro would not boot.
At first when I pressed the power button, I would hear the fans and disc spin for 2 sec then it would power off - no display etc just 2sec of fan/disc noise.
Then I tried resetting SMC (?) - by unplugging the power cord and holding the power for 5 sec. When powering back up it actually made it to the apple logo with the spinning cog - but then shut down again. Any power up attempt after that the plays out like earlier, where I get 2 sec of fan/disc noise then dead - unless I pull out the power and reset SMC again.
Apparently we had a black out last night - could that have had any effect?
Thanks for your help.
