Mac Pro Restart Loop
I have a Mac Pro (Early 2008) running 10.10.4 with a couple of issues (possibly related) I'm hoping someone can help me sort out.
The computer has been for the past week or so been entering in to a endless restart loop. The computer will randomly power down and start up again, getting so far as to about halfway loading on the Apple splash screen, before shutting down and restarting again. This goes on endlessly until you hold down the power button, forcing a shutdown, and giving it a few minutes before starting it up again. In addition to that, the computer takes an extremely long time to reboot or shutdown via menu option (~10 minutes), just showing a black screen with spinning disk, often times forcing me to hold down the power button to force a shutdown. In addition (perhaps unrelated) the computer becomes extremely laggy when left on for extended periods of time (couple days). It seems the longer the computer is left in a sleep state, the more laggy it is, with it becoming so unresponsive, it can take up to a minute to open a Safari. A simple restart fixes the issue, and it reoccurs if the computer is left on sleep for another few days.
Any idea on what could be the issue, or where I can look to get an idea of what might be causing it (logs, etc)? I've repaired all permissions and tried making sure all software and peripherals were up to date, but it hasn't seem to make much of a difference. Any help is greatly appreciated.
