Q: MacPro3,1: Restart instead of shutdown

Hi!

 

I've recently updated to Mac OSX 10.11.6 from 10.10.

Since the update, the MacPro 3,1 does not shutdown when asked, but restarts immediately.

 

I click on "Shutdown", the screens turn black and a small loading-circle appears, then the screens turn off.

During that, the power indicator on the MacPro stays on. It then just goes off for a brief second, then goes on again.

 

The Mac then boots up again as usual without any input from my side.

 

Holding the power button for a couple of seconds turns the computer off.

 

 

I already looked for some solutions online:

- deleted com.apple.Boot.plist (after some struggle because system files cannot be deleted all of a sudden) but it didn't change anything. Also delted the Power Management plist

- I noticed some Finder-crashes after the update, so I also deleted plist-Files connected to the Finder

- Turned off "wake on LAN" in the options menu

- I took out the optical drive because I saw some Console-Log errors connected to "IOATA" device, some users suggested the drive could be faulty

- the MacPro I'm using does not have the stock graphics card but a ATI Radeon HD 7950. I suspect the problem could be related to ATI cards.

- I unplugged all cables (except power of course), switchted off the bluetooth mouse and tried shutting down, but the computer still boots again immediately

- NVRAM and SMC reset did not change anything

 

Any suggestions? Thanks!

MacPro

    Here's the console log up until "BOOT_TIME" from a shutdown which resulted in immediate restart.

    Then format the startup disk and do a fresh install of OSX

    Thank you for the fast reply.

    - Try resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM

    Done, did not fix it.

     

    - Try starting in Safe Mode

    Problem still persists when shut down in safe mode.

    - Boot to Recovery and repair the startup disk

    No error there.

     

    format the startup disk and do a fresh install of OSX

    Yep, I guess that's what needs to happen next.

    Anything usefull from the Console-log? If not, I'll go ahead with the reinstall.

     

    Thank you for your time and effort!
