My intel Mac Pro is starting to have a problem, which I fear is a serious one. It is 3 years and 9 months old, so out of warranty, out of AppleCare.
About a week ago, about 10 minutes after starting up in the morning, it suddenly crashed and then restarted itself immediately. I thought it was just a glitch in our electricity supply - that happens quite a lot here. The next day, it happened again and several times since. By now I was thinking it was the Mac's problem. This morning, I thought it wasn't going to start at all - it made about a dozen attempts before it finally settled down. I have always turned it off at night, mainly because of the electricity glitches, but I will leave it on tonight. I'm just guessing, but that kind of behaviour seems like it might be some connection that warms up on starting, but is beginning to fail. I bought this machine from Macworx, so I will probably approach them about a repair, and am fully backed up. I would just like to get an idea about what might be happening, and if it might or might not be repairable - I will appreciate your thoughts about it. A safe and happy New Year to you all!
