Q: My Mac Pro (2006) has suddenly stopped sending signal to the display monitor.
My Mac Pro (2006) has suddenly stopped sending signal to the display monitor. It coincided with plugging in an Epson printer via usb - while the system was running. Pretty dumb maybe? Could I have damaged the video card? Anyone ideas? Thanks
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7), 2 x Intel Xeon Dual Core, 14GB RAM

Unfortunately my knowledge is very patchy… especially when it comes to software/computer language, so I'm learning a few new tricks.
I've reformatted the 250GB SSD and installed OS again from USB stick - there's nothing I need to keep from the initial installation so no need to use TimeMachine restore. Also I have added CCC as you suggested.
Checked into the Mount Point settings, and it is as it should be for the OS drive - /
Not sure if I fully grasp your Windows 7 work-around.
Do I hook up 128GB SSD to my PC and Install windows 7 Home Premium, (what file format should I use, exFAT/NTFS)? Then re-connect drive to Mac and that's it?
Do your 1 - 6 pointers relate to initial problem, which I hope is fixed, or the Mac Windows 7 installation?
Think your right about waiting a bit for Pro Tools 11 developments- although I'm hoping I can get Pro Tools 10 to run well in my current setup, teething problems aside.
Thanks for taking the time to offer these solutions… much appreciated.
