Q: HELP! Is my 'new' CPU failing me and causing KP's?
I hope I can make this as succinct as it needs to be. I have a MacPro 1,1, and have maxed out my RAM (2 ys ago) with 16GB Crucial RAM, and recently swapped my twin-dual-core processors for a pair of Xeon X5355's. I also had an issue where on of the wires on the lower Molex connector to the lower Super Drive arced, taking out both SD's. Rather than chase down that issue, I went to an external USB-connected SuperDrive. I'm also running OSX 10.6.8, and have run both Cocktail and Disk Utility to chase down an issue which has only just appeared.
The most recent 'mod' was swapping the CPU cores two weeks back, followed a week ago by adding the external Super Drive. Since that, when I've come back to my computer after a break, the computer is running, but the screens are dark and won't come back to life. I have to manually shut down and restart the system to get it running again. This has happened three times now; I ran both Cocktail and DU before the last Kernel Panic.
I'm no spark-chaser; I had an IT buddy of mine do the CPU swap for me, as I'm disabled anyway. From what I can understand, does the information below mean the cause of the KP's causing the "shutdown" described earlier is one or both of the CPU's? According to what I can read elsewhere, they're both operating just fine....I'm hoping it might just be something simple, like a firmware fix or something that one of a simple mind (moi) can wrap his elderly head around. (If it is the CPU's, I guess that's what happens with used CPUs...)
Anyway, if you can answer me here, I'd be more than grateful and indebted.
Sincerely

When booted in "Safe Mode" all kernel software caches will be cleared, and when the Mac boots will will NOT load any 3rd party software. So Safe Mode will eliminate any possibility 3rd party software is at fault. I can suspect it is hardware all I want, but testing is better.
Unless you are going to be doing some serious number crunching (such as video rendering), you would bet a much better "Bang for your Buck" replacing the hard disk with an SSD, or replacing the DVD with an SSD (MacSales.com DataDoubler kit).
Chances are your CPU is going to be idle most of the time, and when you are doing something, it is most likely going to be waiting for the disk.
